“…It has been reported that most research within ACT is done using self-report measures (Newsome, Newsome, Fuller, & Meyer, 2019). Indeed, a self-report measure, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ) was developed to measure EA (Hayes et al, 2004).…”

Experiential avoidance (EA) has played an important role in early and recent conceptualisations of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II; Bond et al., 2011) is largely used as a measure of EA, in spite of criticism about its validity. The present study examined the latent correlations between the AAQ-II and a new measure of EA: the Avoidance of Suffering Questionnaire (ASQ). In addition, correlations with the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ; Gillanders, 2014) were also examined. Two hundred and forty undergraduates (59% female, Mage = 20.33) completed the questionnaires. Both unrestricted and restricted factor analyses were performed in order to examine the hypothesised associations. The AAQ-II showed a strong correlation with the CFQ, but a rather weak correlation with the ASQ. These results suggest that the AAQ-II may not be a measure of EA.

“…Perceptions alone may differ from what people may actually do (e.g., one may experience stigmatizing thoughts but may not act on them; Murphy et al, 2019). These measures are also behavioral measures attained via self-report, which may present some potential issues regarding reliability (Newsome et al, 2019). Given that the construct of stigma is not 100% agreed upon, as it is contextually based on what verbal community one may reside in, measures that try to assess stigma are only correlational and perhaps forever will be.…”

“…PTSM works best when it supports a clinician effort to promote self-management by patients, such as remote communication of patient progress about practice of self-management skills, or the recommendation of specific skills before the next clinic visit. From a research perspective, these digital tools allow for a broad new range of objective measures that can advance clinical behavioral science's measurement armamentarium beyond the sole use of self-report (Newsome, Newsome, Fuller, & Meyer, 2019;. Finally, PTSM has shown promising efficacy in a recent pilot trial [Sullivan et al, 2018].…”

Objective: To report the theoretical basis and design of a novel digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention for people with chronic pain, the Pain Tracker Self Manager (PTSM), which had promising efficacy in a recent pilot trial.Methods: Content development by a multidisciplinary panel of experts in psychiatry, clinical psychology, nursing and social work, with feedback from a group of patients with chronic pain and their providers. Materials included paper-based sketching of a story character, visual metaphors, and a series of stories designed to deliver the theory-based components of our behavioral intervention.Results: This development and design process resulted in 4 digitally delivered clinical modules that combine visual and verbal cues. In addition, it generated a series of novel ACT metaphors specifically tailored to patients with chronic pain: Pain: Injury vs. Threat, Life Navigation System, The Fog of Pain, and Get Rhythm. Consistent with ACT theory and the contextual behavioral science framework, PTSM utilized: perspective-taking, values clarification, acceptance strategies, and nursing and psychological care recommendations.Discussion: Reports of the design and theoretical basis of digital health interventions are highly needed to increase the rigor of their development process and more progressively advance our body of knowledge. This pilot study developed and tested a series of ACT metaphors that can be readily used by ACT clinicians working with this population. Conclusion:PTSM is a novel digital ACT intervention for patients with chronic pain with features directly linked to ACT processes and theory.
