  The Psychological Flexibility Scale consists of 28 items and five sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions of the scale are: "Values and committed action", "Contact with the present moment", "Acceptance", "Self as Context" and "Defusion." The increase in the scores obtained from the sub-dimensions and total scores of the scale means that individuals are psychologically flexible. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 28, and the highest is 196.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: Due to the nature of the study, it is not possible to blind the researcher implementing the intervention and the participants. To prevent bias in the study, the pretest will be applied before randomization. It is planned to blind the statistical and report writing process in the study. The assignment of students to the intervention and control groups will be made by a statistician independent of the study. The researcher and students will not know which group they are in until the application begins. After applying the follow-up tests, the researcher will code the data as A and B groups and transfer it to SPSS. With this method, it is planned that the statistician will do the analysis and reporting without knowing which group is the intervention and which group is the control group. It is planned to explain the codes of the groups after the analysis and reporting of the data. In this way, detection bias, statistical bias, and reporting bias will be prevented.
