Comprehensive assessment of act processes compact. Romanian adaptation and short form validation

Abstract

The current paper presents the translation and validation for Romanian non-clinical population of Comprehensive Assessment of ACT Processes – CompACT (Francis et al., 2016), an instrument that evaluates three dimensions of psychological flexibility: openness to experience, present moment awareness (mindfulness) and valued action. The psychometric properties of the Romanian version of the instrument were investigated, convergent validity in relation with AQQ-II and concurrent validity in relation with DASS-21 (with comparable results with ones reported for the original instrument). Considering modest model fit with theoretical factor structure of the instrument, current paper proposes a shorter, more stable Romanian Version, and tests its psychometric properties.
