This study proposed a theoretical model that highlights psychological flexibility as a key to well-being by helping people find meaning in life and achieve flourishing. The study evaluated 636 adults from Lima, Peru, and found a negligible direct relationship between psychological flexibility and emotional (hedonic), psychological (eudaimonic), and social well-being. However, psychological flexibility directly predicted meaning in life and flourishing, indirectly promoting well-being. In conclusion, meaning in life and flourishing mediate the relationship between meaning in life and well-being. The study emphasizes the importance of psychological flexibility and meaning in promoting well-being, suggesting that interventions targeting psychological flexibility may indirectly support individuals in developing a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Positive psychology interventions should incorporate strategies that promote both psychological flexibility and the search for meaning, as they are essential for well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":47207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 4-week program was administered to 31 patients diagnosed with panic disorder, and related outcomes were assessed using the Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS), Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3), Health Anxiety Inventory Short Version (SHAI), and Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA).
