Although existential loneliness seems to be a natural consequence of being human, some people may experience it more intensely. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether frustration intolerance, which is one of the basic concepts of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and psychological need frustration, which is the basic concept of Self-determination Theory predicted existential loneliness or not. A total of 294 adults were included in the study. The results showed that existential loneliness was directly predicted by frustration intolerance. As a result of the mediation test, all dimensions of psychological need frustration (autonomy frustration, relatedness frustration, and competence frustration) fully mediated the relationship between frustration intolerance and existential loneliness. The place of these findings in the literature was discussed and some recommendations were made.
尽管生存孤独似乎是人类的一种自然结果，但有些人可能会更强烈地体验到它。在本研究中，旨在调查理性情绪行为疗法的基本概念之一——挫折不耐受以及自我决定理论的基本概念——心理需求挫折是否能预测生存孤独。共有294名成年人参与了该研究。结果表明，挫折不耐受直接预测了生存孤独。中介检验的结果显示，心理需求挫折的所有维度（自主挫折、关系挫折和能力挫折）完全中介了挫折不耐受与生存孤独之间的关系。讨论了这些研究结果在文献中的地位并提出了一些建议。
