    Experiential avoidance (EA) has played an important role in early and recent conceptualisations of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II; Bond et al., 2011) is largely used as a measure of EA, in spite of criticism about its validity. The present study examined the latent correlations between the AAQ-II and a new measure of EA: the Avoidance of Suffering Questionnaire (ASQ). In addition, correlations with the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ; Gillanders, 2014) were also examined. Two hundred and forty undergraduates (59% female, Mage = 20.33) completed the questionnaires. Both unrestricted and restricted factor analyses were performed in order to examine the hypothesised associations. The AAQ-II showed a strong correlation with the CFQ, but a rather weak correlation with the ASQ. These results suggest that the AAQ-II may not be a measure of EA.

    La evitación experiencial (EE) ha jugado un papel importante en las conceptualizaciones tempranas y recientes de la terapia de aceptación y compromiso. El Cuestionario de Aceptación y Acción II (AAQ-II; Bond et al., 2011) es muy usado como una medida de la EE, a pesar de las críticas sobre su validez. El presente estudio examinó las correlaciones latentes entre el AAQ-II y una nueva medida de EE: el Cuestionario de Evitación del Sufrimiento (ASQ). Además, se examinaron las correlaciones con el Cuestionario de Fusión Cognitiva (CFQ; Gillanders, 2014). Doscientos cuarenta estudiantes universitarios (59% mujeres, Medad = 20.33) completaron los cuestionarios. Se realizaron análisis factoriales no restringidos y restringidos para examinar las asociaciones hipotetizadas. El AAQ-II mostró una fuerte correlación con el CFQ, pero una correlación bastante débil con el ASQ. Estos resultados sugieren que el AAQ-II podría no ser una medida de EE.
