Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ)

Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ)

The Valued Living Questionnaire is a simple questionnaire originally developed as a clinical tool. It's categories map relatively closely to the categories in the original ACT book (no surprise, since I authored both). A copy of the paper is available by clicking the citation below.

Wilson, K. G., Sandoz, E. K., Kitchens, J., & Roberts, M. E. (2010). The Valued Living Questionnaire: Defining and measuring valued action within a behavioral framework. The Psychological Record, 60, 249-272.

The manuscript contains a copy of the VLQ. I have also added a short working guide to its use.

Also, to get additional info on the flavor of the values work, I would recommend reading my chapter with Amy Murrell in the Mindfulness and Acceptance book. The chapter is also available here on this site: Values Work in ACT.

peace all,

Kelly Wilson


The VLQ can be found on stevenchayes.com


There is a VLQ Adapted to Caregiving (VLQAC) version.
