Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study aimed to investigate the effects of acceptance and commitment-based psychoeducation program on prospective psychological counselors’ some personal (psychological flexibility and self-compassion) and professional (empathy and effective counselor characteristics) qualifications. The research was designed as a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental study with follow-up measurements. The study group consisted of 32 prospective psychological counselors drawn from department of guidance and psychological counseling. They were assigned to the experimental and control groups (16 by 16). While the experimental group was given an acceptance and commitment-based psychoeducation program consisting of 10 sessions, no intervention was performed for the participants in the control group. Pretest, posttest, first follow-up (3 months), and second follow-up (9 months) measurements of the experimental and control groups were taken. A two-way analysis of variance in repeated measurements test was used via the IBM SPSS software package. The results revealed that the program was not only significantly effective in increasing the psychological flexibility and self-compassion levels of prospective psychological counselors but also resulted in a permanent effect. It was found that the intervention program did not lead to a significant change in the empathy levels and effective counselor characteristics of the prospective psychological counselors.
