@caitlinahowlett Thanks so much! Can’t wait to check out your work 😊

[Dr Caitlin Howlett @caitlinahowlett]

A fabulous paper by ⁦@KMNiven⁩ that shares similar concerns with our recent systematic review (Howlett et al., 2021) in terms of definitional overlap and various measurement approaches to assessing cognitive and psychological flexibility. https://t.co/L3i2zf9Avl

@alexgousse @jessieheaman @jessieheaman I agree with @alexgousse! While training on administration seems feasible, the issue is with what might come after (suggesting diagnoses, misinterpretation, etc.)

Ths is heartbreaking and frustrating. Many mental health professionals are full or inaccessible due to privatized mental health. COVID highlighted the flaws and limits of our system. #OnPoli & @fordnation must invest $ in mental health training and care. https://t.co/cPWJnLacWW

Are you interested in how the pandemic has affected teen mental health?

Our team has been following a group of Ontario teens for the past 3 years, and now has results on how their mental health has changed during the pandemic.

Love @ProfLeaWaters work - so important to consider #positivepsychology in the context of #COVID towards more holistic models of mental health!

[Todd Kashdan @toddkashdan]

Here is the only #COVID psychology article that impacted me. Check out #positivepsychology master blaster list of researchers discussing the value of #meaning, #selfcompassion, positive emotions, #courage, & more https://t.co/LTkXXf9KfD

"... we suggest that researchers and clinicians avoid using the AAQ as a measure of psychological flexibility and psychological inflexibility. We also discourage journals from publishing papers using the AAQ as anything but a measure of distress" New scoping review

[Katie Niven (née Cherry) @KMNiven]

Thanks, @Kane_WMC_Lab !

[Gary Brown paperbag1.bsky.social @paperbag1]

@lluaces Yes, the sooner the AAQ is buried, the better, which looks like is happening: https://t.co/GSe5j0j6oj

[Katie Niven (née Cherry) @KMNiven]

Thread 2/2: we offer an encompassing definition of psychological flexibility and highlight big issues in measurement, especially the AAQ. Instead, check out @toddkashdan et al.'s new PPFI measure!
