Psychological flexibility (PF), defined as the ability to pursue valued life aims despite the presence of distress, is a fundamental contributor to health (Kashdan & Rottenberg, 2010). Existing measures of PF have failed to consider the valued goals that give context for why people are willing to manage distress. Using 4 independent samples and 3 follow-up samples, we examined the role of PF in well-being, emotional experience and regulation, resilience, goal pursuit, and daily functioning. We describe the development and psychometric properties of the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index (PPFI), which captures tendencies to avoid, accept, and harness discomfort during valued goal pursuit. Correlational, laboratory, and experience-sampling methods show that the PPFI measures a trait-like individual difference dimension that is related to a variety of well-being and healthy personality constructs. Unlike existing measures of PF, the PPFI was shown to be distinct from negative emotionality. Beyond trait measures, the PPFI is associated with effective daily goals and life strivings pursuit and adaptive emotional and regulatory responses to stressful life events. By adopting our measurement index, PF may be better integrated into mainstream theory and research on adaptive human functioning. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

理解心理上的灵活性：尽管存在困扰，但还是要追求有价值的目标的多方法探索。

心理柔韧性（PF）是指尽管存在困扰也可以追求有价值的生活目标的能力，它是健康的基本要素（Kashdan＆Rottenberg，2010）。PF的现有措施未能考虑到有价值的目标，这些目标为人们愿意管理困境提供了背景。我们使用4个独立样本和3个随访样本，检查了PF在幸福感，情绪体验和调节，韧性，目标追求和日常功能中的作用。我们描述了个性化心理灵活性指数（PPFI）的发展和心理测量特性，该指数捕捉了在追求有价值的目标过程中避免，接受和驾驭不适的趋势。相关实验室 经验抽样方法表明，PPFI衡量的是一种特质样的个体差异维度，该维度与各种幸福和健康的人格结构有关。与现有的PF指标不同，PPFI被证明与负面情绪有所不同。除特质测量外，PPFI还与有效的日常目标和生活追求以及对压力性生活事件的适应性情绪和调节反应相关。通过采用我们的测量指标，PF可能会更好地融入主流理论和适应性人类功能的研究。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。PPFI与有效的日常目标和生活追求以及对压力性生活事件的适应性情绪和调节反应有关。通过采用我们的测量指标，PF可能会更好地融入主流理论和适应性人类功能的研究。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。PPFI与有效的日常目标和生活追求以及对压力性生活事件的适应性情绪和调节反应有关。通过采用我们的测量指标，PF可能会更好地融入主流理论和适应性人类功能的研究。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
