Abstract
COVID-19 has occasioned substantial psychological distress among the Latinx population. This study evaluated the influence of experiential avoidance (EA), or an individual’s tendency to rigidly avoid negative internal experiences (i.e., feelings, thoughts, etc.), on the severity of COVID-19 fear and emotional distress symptoms due to economic adversity and social distancing.
