Abstract
The Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI) is a new 60-item self-report scale developed to assess
the specific components of psychological flexibility and inflexibility proposed in the Hexaflex model of Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian
version of the MPFI-60 in a community sample of 307 Iranian adults. The original study supported a 12-factor secondorder
structure consisting of 6 dimensions for psychological flexibility and 6 dimensions for psychological inflexibility.
The Persian MPFI-60 demonstrated acceptable semantic and test content, internal structure, correlations with other
variables, and internal consistency. It also evidenced in relation to anxiety, stress, depression, and self-compassion.
Overall, the results indicate that the Persian MPFI-60 is a psychometrically sound measure in the Iranian context that
enables researchers and clinicians to comprehensively assess the components of psychological flexibility and inflexibility
within the Hexaflex model.
