Description

Creative Hopelessness (CH) refers to the phase in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in which motivation to control unpleasant private events decreases, and also the stance that clients acquire in this phase. Empirical evidence for creative hopelessness is extremely limited, due to a lack of appropriate methodology for discriminating its acquisition. In the present study, a new method for discriminating the acquisition of creative hopelessness was developed from the perspective of the correspondence between saying and doing. The effect of creative hopelessness was examined with this new methodology. Undergraduate students (N=17) with high social avoidance tendency received a Rationale (lecture and practice) about creative hopelessness. After the intervention, the correspondence group showed greater understanding of the Rationale compared to the other groups. Improvement in subjective disturbance in relation to social events and in mental health was found only for the participants in the correspondence group. This effect was not observed in the non-correspondence group, suggesting effectiveness of the acquisition of creative hopelessness.
