Domain-general and domain-specific strategies for the assessment of distress intolerance.
Open accessAbstract
Recent research has provided evidence that distress intolerance-the perceived inability to tolerate distressing states-varies based on the domain of distress (e.g., pain, anxiety). Although domain-specific assessment strategies may provide information targeted to specific disorders or maladaptive behaviors, domain-general measures have the potential to facilitate comparisons across studies, disorders, and populations. The current study evaluated the utilization of self-report measures of distress intolerance as domain-general measures by examining their association with indices of behavioral avoidance and substance craving. Two groups of participants (N = 55) were recruited including a substance-dependent group and a comparison group equated based on the presence of an affective disorder. Results provided support for the validity of domain-general measures for assessing distress intolerance across varied domains. The importance of both domain-general and domain-specific measurement of distress intolerance is discussed.

High anxiety sensitivity is a particularly effective indicator of low distress tolerance.
“A particularly well-performing marker of low DT is elevated anxiety sensitivity - the fear of anxiety and related sensations.”

Distress tolerance can be measured through self-report or performance tasks covering various kinds of emotional or bodily distress.
“DT can be assessed by self-report or performance measures across any number of domains of emotional or somatic distress (McHugh & Otto, 2011).”
From A randomized controlled trial protocol for engaging distress tolerance and working memory to aid smoking cessation in low socioeconomic status (SES) adults (2020) · cites this paper as McHugh & Otto, 2011
Self-report and behavioral measures of distress tolerance correlate only partially.
“Because self-report and behavioral measures of DT are only partially correlated, we will utilize both assessment strategies (McHugh & Otto, 2011; M.W. Otto et al., in press).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
