Conclusion: There is no significant difference between depressed and anxious people in this component. In the component of action with awareness, there is a significant difference between normal and anxious people as well as normal and depressed people (at the level of P <0.0001) and due to the difference in averages, it seems that normal people have scored higher in the component of action with awareness than depressed and anxious people.
