Introduction: Experiential avoidance is one of the trans-diagnostic factors that can play an important role in formation and continuity many problems of individual's mental health.
Aim: The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of experiential avoidance on general health in non-clinical samples.
Method: In this cross-sectional study, the number of 150 students of Shahed University were selected via multi-stage cluster sampling method. Tools that used in this study were Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).
Results: Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant relationship between experiential avoidance with general health (p<0.01). Regression analysis also showed that experiential avoidance has a significant role on anticipation general health (p< 0.01). Regression analysis indicated that the experiential avoidance can predict 42% of variance of general health in university students.
Conclusion: Finding showed that experiential avoidance has a counterproductive effect on general health in college's students. Thus, it is necessary to considering suitable solutions to reduce experiential avoidance in order to prevent psychology problems.
