After 90 questionnaires were excluded of the research process because of the distortion, structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data of 250 subjects.
Indirect path coefficients between behavioral avoidance (β= 0.151, P=0.016), distraction/suppression (β= 0.151, P=0.021), distress aversion (β= 0.270, P=0.001), distress endurance (β= 0.161, P=0.005) components with psychological distress were significant.
Interpersonal difficulty arises from strategy, characterized by avoidance of some thoughts, memories and activities and is followed by depression and anxiety in long term.
