“…Furthermore, research conducted abroad also investigated the validity and reliability of the DTS. In one study, the internal reliability of the scale, measured by Cronbach's alpha, was reported as 0.93, while in another study, it was reported as 0.92 (28,29).…”

“…negative emotional states or the mental and objective capacity to withstand adverse internal states and external events (9,10). Since it is the ability to withstand obstacles and stressful situations, low distress tolerance is often associated with impaired executive functioning and selfregulation issues, and symptoms may include anxiety, tension, decreased attention, and withdrawal (11).…”

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Pilates exercises on emotion regulation and distress tol89erance in female students with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Methods: The present study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a nonequivalent control group. The research population consisted of female students with PMS at the Islamic Azad University of Doroud during the academic year of 2021- 2022. A convenience sampling method was employed, and 30 individuals were selected and randomly assigned to either the Pilates or control group. The research tools included the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST), Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). These tools were administered to both the Pilates group and the control group in 3 stages: pretest, posttest, and follow-up. Pilates exercises were taught to the Pilates group by a professional instructor at the university gymnasium. Data analysis for this study was conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS version 22. Results: The findings showed that considering P≤0.05, there were significant changes in the variable of emotion regulation. In the Pilates group, the mean score of the emotion suppression subscale increased from 12 in the pretest to 15.33 in the posttest and 16.8 in the follow-up. Similarly, the mean score of the emotion reappraisal subscale increased from 22.4 in the pretest to 26.26 in the posttest and 26.06 in the follow-up. Additionally, the distress tolerance in the Pilates group showed an increase from 40.93 in the pretest to 47.06 in the posttest and 47 in the follow-up. Conclusion: Pilates exercise has an effective role in improving emotion regulation and distress tolerance in female students with PMS.

“…Beyond the qualitative study mentioned in the last section (Veilleux, Hyde & Clift, 2022), there is currently minimal evidence supporting the influence of contextual factors on willingness or distress tolerance self-efficacy. However, there is supporting evidence that other types of self-efficacy are dynamic, namely self-efficacy for smoking cessation.…”

“…First, “resources” are meant to reflect contextual and situational features of the moment. In a recent qualitative study (Veilleux, Hyde, & Clift, 2022), people reported that they feel less capable of tolerating distress when physically drained (i.e., hungry, tired, sick), when alone or experiencing relationship conflict, or when they have significant life stressors. In addition, people noted the compounding effects of affective state—distress was reportedly easier to tolerate when the distressing situation occurred amidst an otherwise good mood, which suggests that distress intensity may be lower when buffered by preexisting positive affect (Lerner & Keltner, 2000).…”

As a transdiagnostic vulnerability factor, low distress tolerance predicts a wide variety of psychopathology. The current article extends past research, which has typically adopted an individual-differences approach, by articulating a social-cognitive theory of momentary distress tolerance. This new model intentionally separates actions taken to remain engaged with distress (i.e., tolerance) from avoidance/escape actions associated with intolerance, and highlights willingness to experience distress as central to tolerance. In addition, self-efficacy for tolerating distress is highlighted as a central predictor of the tolerance/intolerance process, influenced by distress intensity and momentary psychological resources (e.g., hunger, tiredness, degree of life stressors, social support). Finally, the model also explains how repeated experiences of distress tolerance and/or intolerance coalesce into a global self-perception indicative of individual differences in distress tolerance. Reasons why the proposed model has the potential to overcome current challenges in distress tolerance research are reviewed, and future directions for both research and clinical practice are highlighted.
