Abstract
Experimental study (N=24) comparing participants with high and low AAQ-II on a working memory task after watching neutral and unpleasant videos. Those with high AAQ-II showed more intrusions, greater interference, and lower concentration after the emotional video, which mediated poorer performance: experiential avoidance affects attention and cognitive performance.
