| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between cognitive fusion and emotional processing with psychological distress in adolescents. This research is fundamental in nature and the present research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population was all male teenagers of Mahdasht, Karaj city in Alborz province. The statistical sample of this research was 280 people who were selected by available method. They completed Psychological Distress Questionnaire (Kessler et al., 2002), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ; Gillanders et al., 2014) and Emotional Processing (Baker et al., 2010). The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between cognitive fusion and psychological distress and between emotional processing and psychological distress. Also, there is a significant positive relationship between subscales of emotional processing including suppression, the experience of unpleasant emotions, the experience of unprocessed emotions, avoidance and control with psychological distress. The results showed that 39% of the changes in psychological distress can be explained by cognitive fusion and emotional processing. These results can be used to reduce psychological distress in teenagers. | ||
