Psychological Inflexibility and Child Anxiety
Overview
This paper examines the psychometric properties of the Avoidance and Fusion Questionnaire for Youth (AFQ-Y) to measure psychological inflexibility in middle-aged children aged 8–10. The authors report that an 8-item version of the questionnaire demonstrated better validity than the original 17-item version in this age group. Additionally, the study identifies a significant positive relationship between psychological inflexibility and child anxiety among the participants.
