The current study examined the longitudinal relationship between decentering and experiential avoidance as reference in ACT and MBCT. Furthermore, this study verified the longitudinal mediation to identify the effect of decentering and experiential avoidance on depression. A total of 195 participants (male=67, female=125, nonresponse=3) completed self-report questionnaires three times within an 8-week interval. To test the hypothesis, autoregressive cross-lagged models were applied to the data. According to the results, decentering and experiential avoidance showed recursive relationship. Although decentering does not have direct effect on depression, experiential avoidance showed significant mediating effects on the relationship between decentering and depression. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed along with suggestions for further research.
