The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of experiential avoidance and dissociation on the relationship between intrusive memory and traumatic symptoms/ psychological distress. The research model was set up based on the previous research that experiential avoidance works as a vulnerability of traumatic symptoms and psychological distress, which is the basic theory of acceptance based approach. To examine the relationship among variables and role of experiential avoidance which is the core variable of the Acceptance-Based Treatment, survey data from 528 adults exposed to traumatic events was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of data analysis were summarized as follow: First, the results indicated that each variable was positively related, but dissociation was not significantly associated with traumatic symptoms. Second, in this research model, experiential avoidance has an mediated effect on the relationship between intrusive memory and traumatic symptoms, and intrusive memory and psychological distress. Third, experiential avoidance and dissociation significantly mediated the effects of intrusive memory on psychological distress simultaneously. On the other hand, the relationship between intrusive memory and traumatic symptoms was not significantly mediated by experiential avoidance and dissociation at once.
