Distress intolerance is a core element of many models of psychopathology and is related to a range of disorders and maladaptive behaviors. However, research on distress intolerance has been hampered by inconsistency in its assessment. Moreover, recent perspectives suggest that distress intolerance varies based on the domain of distress, highlighting the need for a measure that can capture intolerance across types of distress. This paper introduces a novel measure for distress intolerance: an adaptation of the willingness to pay (WTP) measure, which provides a consistent metric for assessing distress intolerance across domains of distress.
The WTP Distress Intolerance (WTP-DI) measure was administered to two samples of participants and feasibility and validity were evaluated.
Evidence from unselected and clinical samples provide evidence for the feasibility and discriminant and concurrent validity of this measure.
Testing WTP-DI in larger samples and across additional domains of distress is needed.
The WTP-DI measure provides a new measure of distress intolerance that addresses the primary limitations of existing measures and has potential to serve as a cross domain measure to facilitate comparison across types of distress.
无法忍受苦恼是许多精神病理学模型的核心要素，与一系列障碍和适应不良行为有关。然而，苦恼不耐受的研究受到其评估不一致的阻碍。此外，最近的观点表明，苦恼不耐受取决于苦恼的领域，这突出了需要一种能够捕捉各种苦恼类型的不耐受的测量方法。本文介绍了一种新的苦恼不耐受测量方法：支付意愿（WTP）测量方法的改编，它为跨苦恼领域评估苦恼不耐受提供了一致的衡量标准。
WTP 苦恼不耐受（WTP-DI）测量方法被应用于两个参与者样本，并对其可行性和有效性进行了评估。
来自非选择性和临床样本的证据为该测量方法的可行性、判别和同时有效性提供了证据。
需要在更大的样本和更多苦恼领域中测试 WTP-DI。
WTP-DI 测量方法提供了一种新的苦恼不耐受测量方法，解决了现有测量方法的主要局限性，并有可能作为跨领域的测量方法，促进各种苦恼类型之间的比较。
