“…O tipo de reação manifesta pelo indivíduo indica como o mesmo impulsiona ou mantém a sua agressão, o que, por conseqüência, determina o tipo de sua ação em resposta a estímulos externos. Nota-se, ainda, que o tipo de reação se divide nas categorias de tipo de predominância do obstáculo (OD), no qual o obstáculo que causa a frustração é mencionado e enfatizado pelo sujeito; tipo de defesa do ego (ED), onde o indivíduo lança a culpa sobre outrem ou aceita a responsabilidade ou, ainda, declara que a responsabilidade da situação não cabe a ninguém, e tipo de persistência da necessidade (NP), quando a tendência da resposta é dirigida para a solução do problema inerente à situação frustradora (Dor-Shav & Mikulincer, 1990;Nick, s. d.;Rosenzweig, 1963Rosenzweig, , 1976.…”

O presente estudo teve como objetivo construir um instrumento de formato objetivo, com base no teste projetivo Picture Frustration Study (PFT) de Rosenzweig, denominado Teste Objetivo de Resistência à Frustração - TORF. Este estudo foi realizado com uma amostra de 555 estudantes universitários de instituições universitárias de Brasília, a partir da aplicação coletiva de um instrumento. A aplicação foi realizada por psicólogos e alunos treinados. As respostas dos sujeitos foram analisadas quanto à ocorrência de cada alternativa. Alguns critérios foram traçados para a escolha do item que compôs a versão final do instrumento. Apesar de não haver indícios na literatura brasileira de uma proposta como esta, este estudo sugere um instrumento promissor a ser trabalhado para uso futuro em seleção de pessoal.

“…This situation may lead mothers to experience feelings of helplessness. However, it can also contribute to the development of their ability to cope with frustration (Dor‐Shav & Mikulincer, 1990 ; Rosellini & Seligman, 1975 ). In the network structure of fathers, we identified nine hopelessness symptoms that were directly related to resilience, with #BHS6, #BHS8, and #BHS15 exhibiting strong connections to resilience.…”

The intervention process for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is inextricably associated with their parents' mental health problems, such as hopelessness, which may adversely affect resilience and indirectly impact the effectiveness of interventions for their children. Hence, the motivation to help parents of children with ASD reduce hopelessness prompted us to conduct the present study and explore the interrelationship between hopelessness symptoms and resilience. This study evaluated hopelessness and resilience using the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD‐RISC). Participants met the criteria for their children's ASD diagnosis by a psychiatrist (N = 448; 54.69% mothers; Meanage = 34.59 years, SDage = 4.94 years). Moreover, we used symptom network analysis to examine the variability in network structure between fathers and mothers. The flow function was applied to examine which hopelessness symptoms were directly or indirectly associated with resilience. The results showed that #BHS11 (i.e., unpleasantness‐ahead) was the central symptom found in the network structure for all parents and fathers, while #BHS17 (i.e., no‐future‐satisfaction) was the central symptom in the network structure for mothers. Additionally, #BHS6 ([NOT] expect‐to‐succeed) was directly and positively associated with resilience in all three network structures (i.e., all parents, fathers, and mothers). The results of the present study provide evidence that influential symptoms should be addressed and offer guidance for further interventions to reduce hopelessness and enhance resilience among parents of children with ASD.

“…It could be criticized that we did not use a task that actually induced frustration in participants. However, construct validity of Rosenzweig’s PFT has been adequately confirmed (82), it is considered a useful tool in clinical practice (83), and it has been shown to predict actual problem solving and stress coping in experimental settings (84, 85). In any case, future research should confirm our results with tasks eliciting actual frustration.…”

Frustration Tolerance and Personality Traits in Patients With Substance Use Disorders

et al. 2019

Previous research has suggested the prevalence of certain personality traits, some of which are related to a disorganized attachment, in substance abuse disorders. Further, frustration tolerance (FT) has been proposed as an important factor in addiction, both at the inception—following the “self-medication” hypothesis—and regarding treatment compliance. In turn, an inadequate response to frustrating events has been also associated with a disrupted attachment. Our goal is to explore the mediational role of FT in the relationship between personality traits and two different treatments for substance addiction: therapeutic community (TC) and ambulatory treatment (AT). Eighty-four subjects with substance abuse disorder were recruited in total (22 female), including 46 volunteers (13 female) in TC and 38 (9 female) in AT. They were assessed with Rosenzweig’s test for FT and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) test to evaluate personality factors. By comparing with a control sample (335 volunteers, 268 female), we found that FT was lower in patients. Between therapeutic groups, FT was significantly lower in TC. Depressive, antisocial, sadistic, negativistic, schizotypal, borderline, paranoid, anxiety, dysthymia, alcohol use, drug use, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), thought disorder, and delusional disorder traits were suggestive of pathology in the clinical samples and were significantly different between control, AT, and TC groups. Further, anxiety and PTSD traits were higher in TC than in AT. A mediational analysis revealed that the effect of anxiety and PTSD scales on therapeutic group was partially mediated by FT. In conclusion, FT and its interplay with personality traits commonly related to disorganized attachment (anxiety and PTSD) might be important factors to consider within therapeutic programs for persons with substance addiction.
