The Development of Behavioral Measurement Task for Distress Tolerance: Preliminary Study

Abstract
This study aims to develop the behavioral measurement task for distress tolerance, as an ability to tolerate negative affect. The length of time to stop viewing the negative picture was hypothesized to represent the behavioral distress tolerance. 75 college students completed Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS), Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). They were then asked to visit the laboratory and watch negative pictures on a computer screen indefinitely. The length of time to stop viewing, and the affective responses to pictures, were measured. Correlational analysis indicated that the length of time to stop viewing the negative picture did not correlate significantly with the scores on DTS, CES-D, and BAI. However, the time to stop correlated positively with regulation factor of DTS. This result indicates that a person who cannot tolerate negative affect and strives to avoid negative affect actually finishes the task fast; it also suggests the possibility that the length of time to stop viewing the negative picture can be used to measure behavioral distress tolerance. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed, along with suggestions for future research.
