Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study examines the role of psychological flexibility in promoting mental health and life satisfaction among 140 adults using an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that psychological flexibility directly enhances life satisfaction and that mental health mediates this relationship, although one component of flexibility (cognitive defusion) did not contribute to the latent construct. The authors suggest these results support the continued use of third-wave therapies like ACT to cultivate psychological flexibility.
