Overall, these results demonstrate that ACT core processes account for moderate to large amounts of the variance in indicators of depressive symptoms and pain interference for individuals who have an SCI. Pursuit of values and acceptance had the greatest associations with depressive symptoms, whereas self as context and acceptance had the greatest associations with reported pain interference. These results highlight the potential for ACT core processes to be targeted in a treatment context. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
