Self-transcendence is thought to increase well-being and is implicitly promoted in contextual cognitive behavioral therapies (CCBTs). This study conceptualizes, develops, and validates the first comprehensive CCBT-informed self-transcendence questionnaire. Using a CCBT-informed theory, we propose four self-transcendence facets: distancing oneself from mental content, distinguishing an observer of mental experience that is separate from the content of experience, experiencing innate connectedness with other beings, and noticing the constantly changing nature of experience. We measured these facets with items from existing relevant questionnaires and novel, expert-informed items. Exploratory factor analyses and bifactor exploratory structural equation models supported the first three of these facets. Those factors evidenced convergent validity with decentering, defusion, experiential avoidance, and mindfulness, and criterion and incremental validity in predicting psychological well-being. Our findings support a CCBT-informed model of self-transcendence, introduce the first instrument to comprehensively measure the self-transcendence facets we identified, indicate links with well-being, and suggest future intervention targets.

自我超越被认为可以增加幸福感，并在情境认知行为疗法 (CCBT) 中得到隐含的促进。本研究概念化、开发和验证了第一份全面的 CCBT 知情自我超越问卷。使用基于 CCBT 的理论，我们提出了四个自我超越方面：使自己远离心理内容，区分与经验内容分离的心理体验观察者，体验与其他存在的内在联系，并注意到不断变化的本质。经验。我们使用现有相关问卷和新颖的专家知情项目中的项目来衡量这些方面。探索性因素分析和双因素探索性结构方程模型支持了前三个方面。这些因素证明了去中心化、解离、经验回避和正念的收敛效度，以及预测心理健康的标准效度和增量效度。我们的研究结果支持基于 CCBT 的自我超越模型，引入了第一个全面测量我们确定的自我超越方面的工具，表明与幸福感的联系，并建议未来的干预目标。
