        Experiential avoidance is the attempt to change the shape, frequency, and duration of events that are perceived as negative and retreat from situations that provoke such occurrences. Experiential avoidance is contributory in the development, persistence and exacerbation of many of psychological disorders and problems in interpersonal relationships. The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the short form of Experiential Avoidance multidimensional questionnaire among the Iranian university students. For this purpose, 335 students were selected through availability sampling method and evaluated by multidimensional questionnaires of Experiential Avoidance, Acceptance & Act, and the World Health Organization’s Quality of Life. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the questionnaire contains six factors including: cognitive avoidance, emotional avoidance, behavioral avoidance, mental confusion aversion, procrastination, and psychological pressure tolerance. Positive correlation between psychological pressure tolerance and physical health, mental health, and acceptance demonstrate the convergent validity of the questionnaire. The results, also, indicated desirable internal consistency of the questionnaire among the Iranian students; and that it can be used to predict mental health and identify individuals prone to various physical and psychological disorders.

        In the past decades, mindfulness has attracted the attention of many researchers, and different instruments for measuring these structures have been created which has not yet been assessed in terms of the psychometric properties and cross-cultural perspective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of five dimensional mindfulness questionnaire in the Iranian society. For this purpose, 335 students were selected from available sampling and were analyzed with the five dimensional mindfulness questionnaire, multidimensional avoidance of experience and the quality of life questionnaire of the World Health Organization. The results of exploratory factor analysis indicated that the five dimensional mindfulness questionnaire in the Iranian population has six dimensions and shows satisfactory internal consistency (81/0 to 93/0). The total score of mindfulness has significant correlation with the total score of avoidance from experience and some of its factors (behavioral avoidance, delaying activity, and an aversion of mental distress). The results are convergent with the validity and reliability of the five dimensional mindfulness questionnaire. Accordingly, the five dimensional mindfulness questionnaire can be used for the evaluation and assessment of mindfulness in an Iranian society. Manuscript profile
