Abstract

The present research was aimed at testing the utility of the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure 2010 (IRAP) as a behavioral assessment methodology for cognitive defusion. In the present test of the validity of this procedure as a tool for clinical assessment, a commonly used cognitive defusion technique, word repeating, was focused on, and how rapid vocal repetition of one word affected response latencies during the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure was examined. Participants (university students, average age 19.8 years) were assigned randomly to either a cognitive defusion group (n=15) or a control group (n=16), and completed the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure before and after the intervention. The results revealed that the cognitive defusion group's response latencies on the consistent and inconsistent trials were shorter than the control group's. Specifically, the cognitive defusion group's response latencies on the inconsistent trials showed a significant decrease after the intervention. The findings are discussed in terms of the potential therapeutic application of the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure.
