摘要：AbstractOpenness to experience is a concept already used in psychological assessment in the Big Five model. Experiential psychotherapies have used it starting with Carl Rogers, considering it a resource that keeps a person healthy. The purpose of this research was to develop an instrument to assess it so that psychotherapeutic change mechanisms could be highlighted. Seven dimensions resulted, including the desire to evolve, to discover, to better know oneself keeping in touch with others and the universe, or the capacity to experiment (“play”) new roles accessing unknown or less used parts of a person's Self. Further experimentation is needed.
