Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has demonstrated promising outcomes to date with clinical populations affected by psychosis, however there is a dearth of such investigations involving non-clinical samples despite evidence that symptoms of psychosis exist on a continuum in the general population. The present study aimed to investigate how key ACT processes relate to psychosis-like symptoms in the general population. A convenience sample of 77 adults completed self-report measures of cognitive fusion, mindfulness, experiential avoidance, and psychosis-like symptoms, and relative distress, intrusiveness and frequency. A series of correlational and hierarchical regression analyses investigated the relationship between target variables. Higher mindfulness was related to lower levels of psychosis-like symptoms as well as lower distress, intrusiveness, and frequency in relation to these experiences, as were lower levels of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance. Higher levels of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance, as well as lower levels mindfulness, emerged as significant predictors of higher levels of psychosis-like symptoms, and higher relative distress, intrusiveness, and frequency. Findings are discussed in relation to implications for future clinical research.

迄今为止，接受和承诺疗法 (ACT) 已在受精神病影响的临床人群中显示出有希望的结果，尽管有证据表明精神病症状在一般人群中存在连续统一体，但仍缺乏涉及非临床样本的此类调查。本研究旨在调查关键 ACT 过程如何与一般人群中的精神病样症状相关。77 名成年人的便利样本完成了对认知融合、正念、体验性回避和精神病样症状以及相对痛苦、侵入性和频率的自我报告测量。一系列相关性和层次回归分析研究了目标变量之间的关系。较高的正念与较低水平的精神病样症状以及较低的痛苦有关，与这些经历相关的侵入性和频率，以及较低水平的认知融合和经验回避。较高水平的认知融合和体验回避，以及较低水平的正念，成为较高水平的精神病样症状以及较高的相对痛苦、侵入性和频率的重要预测因素。讨论结果与对未来临床研究的影响有关。
