Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discover if psychological flexibility mediates or moderates the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental health outcomes. Participants were given a variety of scales. Results showed that components of psychological flexibility mediate the relationship between ACEs and depression, anxiety, and dissociation.
