Considering the lack of data with Spanish population, we examined the relation between tightly holding happiness emotion goals and subjective wellbeing in a sample of Spanish women, and explored the mediation role exerted by psychological inflexibility components (namely, cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance) in the relation between valuing happiness and subjective wellbeing. A female adult sample (n = 168) filled out measures of excessive valuing happiness, psychological inflexibility, positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction. Valuing happiness only showed positive total effects on negative affect and strong direct effects on both cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance. Analyses revealed the mediating roles exerted by psychological inflexibility components, with experiential avoidance leading to lower pleasure; and cognitive fusion leading to greater displeasure and lower life satisfaction. Psychological inflexibility components explained between 40 and 80% of the total effect of valuing happiness on our outcome variables. Our findings highlight the need for further research on the benefits of hedonic vs. values-based approaches to happiness. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/S62-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.8 2022 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 34 / 147 = 0.231 2022 Q1 T1 0.891 2022 Psychology (miscellaneous) 2022 Q2 4.5 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lombás, Andrés Sebastián Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3492-7544 Salvador, Sonia López Crespo, Ginesa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9928-7317 4009 620 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
