AAQ-S (Stigma)

The AAQ-S is a 21 item measure of psychological flexibility/inflexibility with stigmatizing thoughts. The measure includes two subscales (psychological flexibility and psychological inflexibility), which can be analyzed separately or combined into a total score.

The AAQ-S can be downloaded from the Utah State University ACT Research Group.
