The sample size was determined through G*power software in such a way that the study has the necessary power to detect a difference of at least 1 unit in the amount of dependent variables between the experimental and control groups. Assuming the probability of the first type of error is 5% and the probability of the second type of error is 20%, and assuming a standard deviation of 0.9, the number of samples equal to about 15 people for each group was obtained. Therefore, among the statistical population, 30 eligible volunteers were included in the study and were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (each group included 15 people). The implementation method was that after selecting the people of the sample group and before starting the treatment program, the questionnaires of Garnevsky and Kraij (2006) and psychological flexibility (2011) between both The group was distributed.
