English abstract:
      Objective To explore the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on anxiety and experiential avoidance of undergraduate students with social anxiety.Methods A total of 24 subjects with Social Anxiety Inventory (SAI) score above 60 were recruited from Nanchang University. They were divided into the study group and control group according to the random number table method. The study group received ACT group intervention for 6 weeks, while the control group received general mental health education. SAI and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ) were used at the baseline, 1 week after intervention and 2 months after intervention.Results At 1 week after intervention, stress and anxiety dimension score as well as the total score on SAI of the study group were lower than those of the control group [(28.20±4.08) vs. (36.00±6.82), (65.40±7.78) vs. (74.78±8.78), t=-3.065, -2.471, P<0.05 or 0.01]. And 2 months after intervention, SAI anxious dimension score, total score and AAQ-Ⅱ score of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group [(27.90±4.48) vs. (34.00±7.65), (64.00±8.08) vs. (73.11±8.77), (29.20±6.16) vs. (35.78±7.20), t=-2.149, -2.357, -2.145, P<0.05].Conclusion ACT group intervention can effectively reduce tension and anxiety and experiential avoidance of undergraduate students with social anxiety.
