An ever-growing number of transdiagnostic processes that maintain psychopathology across disorders have been identified. However, such processes are not consistently associated with psychological distress and symptoms. An understanding of what makes such processes pathological is required. One possibility is that individual differences in rigidity in the implementation of these processes determine the degree of psychopathology. The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between rigidity/flexibility and transdiagnostic maintenance processes. Initial searches were made for research examining relationships between 18 transdiagnostic processes and rigidity/flexibility. Relationships between rumination, perfectionism, impulsivity and compulsivity, and rigidity/flexibility were systemically reviewed; 50 studies met inclusion criteria. The majority of studies indicated that transdiagnostic cognitive and behavioral maintenance processes and rigidity were correlated, co-occurring, or predictive of each other. Findings are consistent with the hypothesis that it is inflexibility in the manner in which processes are employed that makes them pathologically problematic. However, further research is required to test and establish this.

僵化/灵活性与维持精神病理学的经诊断的认知和行为过程之间的关系的系统综述

已经确定了越来越多的跨疾病维持精神病理学的转诊过程。但是，这样的过程并不总是与心理困扰和症状有关。需要了解使此类过程变得病理的原因。一种可能性是，在执行这些过程时僵化程度的个体差异决定了心理病理学的程度。本文的目的是研究刚性/柔韧性与透诊断性维护过程之间的关系。进行了初步搜索，以研究18种转诊过程与刚性/柔性之间的关系。系统地回顾了反省，完美主义，冲动性和强迫性与刚性/灵活性之间的关系；50个研究符合纳入标准。大多数研究表明，经诊断的认知和行为维持过程与僵化是相互关联，共同发生或相互预测的。研究结果与以下假设相吻合，即采用过程的方式缺乏灵活性会导致其病理性问题。但是，需要进一步的研究来测试和确定这一点。
