The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-2)

Here in this post, we are sharing the “The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire”. You can read psychometric and Author information.  We have thousands of Scales and questionnaires in our collection (See Scales and Questionnaires). You can demand us any scale and questionnaires related to psychology through our community, and we will provide you with a short time. Keep visiting Psychology Roots.

About the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire

Author:

Frank Bond leads the way with this measure, but many in the ACT community have been involved in the development. The AAQ-2 assesses a person’s experiential avoidance and immobility and acceptance and action.

Scoring:

The items on the AAQ-2 are rated on a 7 point Likert-type scale from 1 (never true) to 7 (always true). High scores on the AAQ-2 are reflective of greater experiential avoidance and immobility, while low scores reflect greater acceptance and action.
Reliability and validity: (the following is taken directly from the ACBS website).

“Acceptance has been difficult to measure but we are making progress. The Acceptance & Action Questionnaire (AAQ) is our major effort so far. The primary AAQ validation study is (see attachments below):

  • Hayes, S. C., Strosahl, K. D., Wilson, K. G., Bissett, R. T., Pistorello, J., Toarmino, D., Polusny, M., A., Dykstra, T. A., Batten, S. V., Bergan, J., Stewart, S. H., Zvolensky, M. J., Eifert, G. H., Bond, F. W., Forsyth J. P., Karekla, M., & McCurry, S. M. (2004). Measuring experiential avoidance: A preliminary test of a working model. The Psychological Record, 54, 553-578.

It yields a single factor solution: a 9 item solution, and a similar 16 item solution that drops 2 of the 9 items and adds 9 more. There is a second validation study that yields a two factor 16 item solution with a latent single factor.

  • Bond, F. W. & Bunce, D. (2003). The role of acceptance and job control in mental health, job satisfaction, and work performance. Journal of Applied Psychology, 88, 1057-1067.

Unlike the primary AAQ, it is keyed positively because it has primarily been used in nonclinical contexts. A couple of the items were reworded.

In population-based studies, the AAQ-9 seems to work well as a measure of acceptance. Its alpha is sometimes marginal because the items are too darned complex. We are solving that in the AAQ-II. The AAQ-9 sometimes does not work well as a therapeutic process measure, in part because it is so short. Either AAQ-16 may work better as a process measure for that reason but they are a bit longer and again alpha is not always great. If you want to decide about which way to score it later, you will be able to score all of the three available AAQ versions if you use the 22-item version that combines all of the items in these two validation studies (see attachments below).

The AAQ-II is under development. We seem to now have a stable factor structure with 10 items (again a single factor scale with a collection of items very similar to the original AAQ-9 — it correlates with that version around .9). That version is attached below. Frank Bond at Goldsmiths College at the University of London is heading up the international development effort. Please contact him for the current status and if you are willing to help us work on validity and reliability please let us know. There are also Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese versions of the AAQ. (Cited from the ACBS website)”.

*The AAQ-revised and the AAQ (49 items) are also included in this package and follow after the AAQ-2.
