The current paper approaches art through a behavioral lens rooted in functional contextualism, where producing and observing art are behaviors that emerge and evolve within a multilevel functional context, encompassing natural selection, operant selection, and cultural selection. At the biological level, evolutionary pressures have shaped neurological processes and physiological responses that support artistic engagement. At the operant level, relational frame theory provides insights into how language and experience transform the function of art, and, bi-directionally, how art transforms human experience. At the cultural level, art propagates shared practices and values through mechanisms like metacontingencies and cultural cusps, facilitating intergenerational transmission and societal change. Potential applications include therapeutic interventions leveraging art to promote psychological flexibility, educational initiatives fostering artistic appreciation, and community programs enhancing collective resilience. By integrating biological, behavioral, and cultural perspectives, this analysis highlights art's unique role as a dynamic, adaptive component of human life, capable of enriching and transforming individual and collective experiences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100890"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143808316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study examined qualitative feedback among 21 U.S. Veterans (M<sub>age</sub> = 57.43, SD = 12.94) with chronic pain one month after completing the Acting with Mindfulness for Pain (AMP) protocol, an 8-week, group-delivered ACT intervention that integrates formal mindfulness meditation practice as a principal treatment component. We analyzed responses to semi-structured interviews performed at 1-month post-treatment using an inductive thematic approach and found four overarching themes: Shift in Internal State, Engaging in Life, Symptom Relief, and Group Dynamics. The Shift in Internal State and Engaging in Life themes and sub-themes reflected important elements of psychological flexibility as defined within ACT, including pain acceptance, change in the experience of thoughts and emotions, improvement in daily functioning and movement towards personal values. The Symptom Relief theme was primarily supported by descriptions of the utility of mindfulness meditation for pain and stress relief. The Group Dynamics theme highlighted the importance of member-member and member-facilitator relationships. These data provide insights into the lived experiences of Veterans undergoing the AMP protocol and provide support for future research examining the efficacy of AMP.

Therefore, there is a need to design and apply university-based interventions that are easily accessible to college students. Transdiagnostic Internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TACT) has been widely utilized due to its low cost and scalability; however, to date, its effectiveness and cross-cultural adaptation in mainland China remain to be studied. University students were recruited and randomly assigned to either a) the intervention group (n = 48, Student COMPASS Enhanced Course), which received the I-ACT intervention course with cross-cultural adaptation modifications, or b) the control group (n = 48, Student COMPASS Course), which received the Student COMPASS Course, in a randomized controlled trial design. The Student COMPASS Enhanced Course is a program that has undergone cultural adaptation improvements. The course utilizes the Theoretical Model of Confucian Self-Development as the ethical guideline, while mapping Zeng Guofan's (1811–1872) experience of self-cultivating to the six sub-processes of psychological flexibility and become the essential part of the course. Participants all received a post-intervention assessment after 7 weeks and a follow-up assessment after 15 weeks. The results indicated time effects across all symptom measures (ISI, GHQ-12, PPFI, ESS, DASS-21, and AAQ-II), suggesting significant improvements in mental health, sleep health, and psychological flexibility over time in both the intervention and control groups. Additionally, between-group main effects were observed for PPFI, ESS, DASS-21, and AAQ-II scores. However, the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) analysis revealed no group by time interaction effects for scores on any of the measures.
