Abstract
Background & Purpose: Generalized anxiety disorder leads to a decrease in mental health and quality
of life for people. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional
expressiveness and experiential avoidance with the mediation of social competence in students with
generalized anxiety disorder in Mashhad.
Method: The present study was a descriptive correlation in terms of applied purpose and data collection
method. The statistical population of the research consisted of all the first and second grade high School
students of Mashhad who were studying in 2022-2023. 210 students with symptoms of generalized anxiety
were selected by cluster sampling method. To collect data, the generalized anxiety questionnaire of Spitzer
et al (2006), Emotional Expressiveness questionnaire of King & Emmons (1990), Acceptance and Action
Questionnaire (AAQ-II) of Bond et al (2011), and Social adequacy questionnaire of Felner et al (1990) were
used. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling analysis by SPSS 24 and Lisrel 8.8 software.
Findings: Based on the obtained results, the direct effect of positive emotion, intimacy and social adequacy
variables on experiential avoidance is negative and significant and the direct effect of negative emotion
expression variable on experiential avoidance is positive and significant (P<0/01). In addition to the direct
effect, positive emotion, intimacy and negative emotion expression had an indirect effect on experiential
avoidance through social adequacy. (P<0/01). Therefore, it can be said that the considered model had a good
fit, in other words, social adequacy has a mediating role in the relationship between emotional expression and
experiential avoidance in general anxiety disorder.
