Despite initial evidence linking distress tolerance to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity, there is a need for the investigation of interrelations among multiple measures of distress tolerance and PTSD symptom severity. Therefore, the present study investigated concurrent relations among multiple measures of distress tolerance, as well as the relations between these measures and PTSD symptom severity, within a trauma-exposed community sample. The sample consisted of 81 trauma-exposed adults (63.1% women). Results indicated that Distress Tolerance Scale (Simons & Gaher, 2005) scores, but no other measures of distress tolerance were significantly related to PTSD symptom severity above and beyond the variance accounted for by number of traumas, trait-level neuroticism, and participant sex. Implications and future directions are discussed.
尽管最初有证据表明痛苦耐受力与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状严重程度有关，但仍需要研究多种痛苦耐受力测量指标与 PTSD 症状严重程度之间的相互关系。因此，本研究在一个有创伤暴露的社区样本中，调查了多种痛苦耐受力测量指标之间的同时关系，以及这些指标与 PTSD 症状严重程度之间的关系。样本包括 81 名有创伤暴露的成年人（63.1%为女性）。结果表明，在考虑创伤数量、特质水平神经质和参与者性别所解释的方差之外，痛苦耐受力量表（Simons 和 Gaher，2005）评分与 PTSD 症状严重程度显著相关，但其他痛苦耐受力测量指标则没有显著相关。讨论了其意义和未来方向。
