Summary of hierarchical regression for restriction in valued action predicting diminished quality of live over and above gender, GAD severity, distress about emotions, and experiential avoidance (n = 30)

Predictor	R2Δ	β (in each step)	r2 (in each step)
Step 1
Gender	.56***	.52***	.49
GAD severity		−.40**	−.38
Step 2
Gender	.12*	.46***	.42
GAD severity		−.31*	−.27
ACS		.13	.10
AAQ		−.43**	−.33
Step 3
Gender	.05*	.36**	.30
GAD severity		−.30*	−.26
ACS		.15	.11
AAQ		−.35*	−.26
VLQ		.28*	.23
Total R2	.73*

Note. ACS = Affective Control Scale; AAQ = Acceptance and Action Questionnaire; VLQ = Valued Living Questionnaire. GAD Severity is a composite score that was derived by summating z-score transformed scores from the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire. Beta values are from each step; r² refers to semi-partial correlations from each step.
