The role of values-consistent behavior in generalized anxiety disorder
Overview
This study compares treatment-seeking clients with generalized anxiety disorder to nonanxious controls to examine how values-consistent behavior relates to quality of life. The authors report that individuals with GAD engage in significantly less valued action, which is linked to experiential avoidance and emotional distress. Additionally, the paper notes preliminary findings suggesting that acceptance-based behavioral therapy may help increase valued action in this population.
