Abstract:
Increased emphasis has been placed on elucidating the contribution of client variables, such as treatment preference, to optimize evidence-based practice. This analog study sought to better understand variables associated with treatment preference using a convenience sample of college students (n = 54) who read brief descriptions of three interventions for negative thoughts-defusion, noticing, and restructuring. They rated each on acceptability and practicality and completed measures of cognitive fusion, emotional distress, and experiential avoidance as possible moderating variables. Restructuring was overwhelmingly preferred and rated as more acceptable than the two alternatives by both the overall sample and a distressed subsample. Preference for defusion or noticing was not predicted by ratings of acceptability or practicality but by elevated levels of cognitive fusion and emotional distress consistent with a compensation model. Limitations of the study and its implications for further research on psychotherapy preference and its integration within evidence-based practice are discussed.
摘要:
越来越强调阐明客户变量的贡献,例如治疗偏好,优化循证实践。这项模拟研究试图通过对大学生(n=54)的便利样本更好地理解与治疗偏好相关的变量,这些样本阅读了三种针对消极思想-去融合的干预措施的简短描述,注意到,和重组。他们对每个人的可接受性和实用性进行了评估,并完成了认知融合的措施,情绪困扰,和经验回避作为可能的调节变量。在总体样本和不良子样本中,重组是压倒性的首选,并且比两种选择更可接受。对输血或注意的偏好不是通过可接受性或实用性的评分来预测的,而是通过与补偿模型一致的认知融合和情绪困扰水平的提高来预测的。讨论了该研究的局限性及其对进一步研究心理治疗偏好及其在循证实践中的整合的意义。
