The interplay between perceived stress, psychological flexibility, and interpretation biases in undergraduate mental health
Overview
This study investigates how psychological flexibility and interpretation biases relate to stress and mental health outcomes in 228 undergraduate students during moderate and high-stress periods. It finds that psychological flexibility mediates the link between stress and symptoms, while negative interpretation biases specifically moderate this relationship under high stress conditions. The resource is intended for readers interested in the cognitive mechanisms underlying stress vulnerability.
