Beyond surface acting: a mixed-methods investigation of an ACT-based intervention for promoting psychological flexibility and regulatory shift in hotel frontline emotional labor
Overview
This mixed-methods study investigates an 8-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention adapted for Thai hotel employees to address emotional labor challenges. The research combines qualitative interviews with a quasi-experimental evaluation of the MINNICHA Model, comparing participants against a control group using measures of psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and emotional acting styles. Results indicate significant improvements in deep acting and psychological flexibility among those receiving the intervention compared to the control group.
