    the study of Time has a long history, dating back to the earliest days of psychological science in the late 1800s. However, the conceptualization of time perspective has led to a better understanding of individuals' healthy and pathological attitudes toward time dimensions. Similarly, Articulated psychological inflexibility components (i.e., Experiential avoidance (Ea) and Cognitive Fusion (CF)) have been found to have solid links with psychopathology, specifically psychological distress. the purpose of this study was to examine the serial mediating functions of Ea and CF in the association between Deviation from Balanced Time Perspective (DBTP) and Depression and anxiety symptoms. also, A reversed model of serial mediation was tested. a total of 203 participants (155 female) aged between 17-73 (M = 28.45, SD = 11.43) completed measures of time perspective, CF, Ea, Anxiety, and depression. CF and Ea functioned as mediators between DBTP and depressioN/Anxiety in the first mediation model. However, in the reversed model, only the mediation effect for depression was observed. these results emphasize the need for tailoring treatments to the requirements of patients struggling with anxiety and depression symptoms, who may be more susceptible to imbalanced time perspectives and time-entrapped cognitive processes.

    The roles of intolerance of uncertainty and mindfulness in psychological distress: a two-wave longitudinal study
    (Springer, 2024) Abdulcebbar, Amal; Kantarcı, Laçin; Yılmaz, Ertürk; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities
    Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a vulnerability factor that is believed to play a significant role in the development and maintenance of many affective disorders. Previous research indicated that the strength of the association between IU and psychological distress tend to change depending on certain trait characteristics. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine whether the interaction between IU and mindfulness will prospectively predict anxiety and depression measured five weeks later. The data were collected from 243 university students (129 female) between ages 18 and 29 at two different time points via questionnaires assessing intolerance of uncertainty, mindfulness, anxiety, and depression at time 1, followed by only measures of anxiety and depression at time 2. The results revealed that higher IU scores were associated with higher levels of depression for the participants who have low levels of mindfulness. A similar pattern was not observed for anxiety. The findings indicated that mindfulness prospectively predicts lower levels of depression only for the individuals who have lower levels of intolerance of uncertainty.
