Promoting Psychological Flexibility on Tolerance Tasks: Framing Behavior Through Deictic/Hierarchical Relations and Specifying Augmental Functions

Experimental study (N=30) comparing two RFT-based defusion protocols and a control, measuring tolerance in cold-pressor task and aversive film. Both protocols increased tolerance compared to control; the one including hierarchical relations and augmental functions showed greater effect, supporting the RFT precision of defusion exercises.
