The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on the distress tolerance and resilience of women with substance-dependent incarcerated spouses.

The present study was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population of the study included all women with substance-dependent incarcerated spouses who were served by the Tehran Prisoners Support Association in 2024. Among them, 30 individuals were selected by the convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into an experimental group (n =15) and a control group (n =15). Participants in both groups completed the distress tolerance scale and the resilience scale in the pre- and post-test. Cognitive behavioral therapy was conducted in the experimental group in 8 sessions of 90 minutes each with a frequency of two sessions per week. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups, and that cognitive behavioral therapy significantly increased distress tolerance and resilience in women with substance-dependent incarcerated spouses.

Based on the results, cognitive behavioral therapy can be used by counselors and family therapists to improve the distress tolerance and resilience of women with substance-dependent incarcerated spouses.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group schema therapy on self-criticism and distress tolerance in women with substance-dependent spouses.

The aim of this study was to investigate the structural relationships between risk-taking and difficulty in emotion regulation with a tendency to addiction relapse in patients undergoing methadone maintenance therapy with respect to the mediating role of distress tolerance and cognitive flexibility.

The research design was descriptive-correlation of structural equations. The statistical population included all addicts undergoing methadone maintenance treatment in Rasht City in 2019. A sample of 260 subjects were selected by consecutive sampling method. Data were collected through cognitive flexibility, distress tolerance, difficulty in emotional regulation, risk-taking tests and brief substance craving scale.

The final model after correction (i.e., eliminating the difficulty in emotion regulation path towards the tendency to relapse) and releasing a number of covariance errors fit well with the data. The results revealed that the direct path coefficients between risk-taking with cognitive flexibility and distress tolerance are negative and significant and with a tendency to addiction relapse are positive and significant. Also, the direct path between difficulty in emotion regulation with cognitive flexibility and distress tolerance was negative and significant. The relationship between mediating variables, namely cognitive flexibility and distress tolerance with the tendency to addiction relapse was negative and significant. Indirect pathways of risk-taking and difficulty in emotion regulation toward the tendency to addiction relapse through mediation of cognitive flexibility and distress tolerance were significant.

Risky behaviors and low ability to regulate intense emotions are the triggers of addiction relapse and it is suggested that booster skills of behavioral control and emotion regulation be included in the therapeutic program for addicts undergoing treatment and interventions are planned to improve cognitive flexibility and increase distress tolerance.

This study aimed to determine the diagnostic role of multiple dimensions of distress tolerance, metacognition, sensation seeking, and perceived social disorganization in methamphetamine, opium, and alcohol users.

This research was conducted by a causal-comparative method in Tehran in 2020. 135 drug users were selected as a convenience sample in three groups: methamphetamine (n= 45), alcohol (n= 45), and opium (n= 45). The multidimensional scale of distress tolerance, the metacognitive beliefs scale, the sensation seeking scale, and the social disorganization questionnaire were used to collect data. Discriminant function analysis method was used to analyze the data.

The results of discriminant function analysis with four variables of distress tolerance, metacognition, sensation seeking, and social disorganization showed that this analysis correctly categorized 62.2% of the opium group, 51.1% of the methamphetamine group, and 42.2% of the alcohol group. In general, the results of this study showed that opium users had higher positive metacognitive beliefs than methamphetamine and alcohol users, and methamphetamine users had the highest level of experience seeking compared to alcohol and opium users. Also, opium users showed lower distress tolerance than methamphetamine and alcohol users. In addition, none of the perceived indicators of social disorganization could distinguish the three groups of drug users.

The variables of distress tolerance, metacognition, sensation seeking, and perceived social disorganization have a significant role in distinguishing and diagnosing the three groups of methamphetamine, opium, and alcohol users. Therefore, providing strategies to change the positive beliefs of substance users, reducing the level of experience seeking, and controlling emotion and tolerance in these people can be useful in preventing and treating substance abuse.

The aim of this study was to predict distress tolerance based on brain-behavioral systems, HEXACO personality characteristics and social isolation in substance-dependent individuals.

The present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study included all substance-dependent men referred to addiction treatment centers in Tehran in 2020. According to Kline (2015), 400 individuals were selected by convenience sampling method and they responded to the distress tolerance scale, the brain /behavioral systems scale, the HEXACO personality inventory, and the social isolation scale. After considering outlier data, 63 questionnaires were discarded and finally 337 people entered the study. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression.

The results showed that behavioral inhibition system, emotionality, and social isolation had negative and significant relationships with distress tolerance. Behavioral activation system, honesty-humility, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness had positive and significant relationships with distress tolerance. The results of multiple regression analysis also revealed that 33% of the variance of distress tolerance was explained by brain-behavioral systems, HEXACO personality characteristics, and social isolation.

The findings of this study show that brain-behavioral systems, HEXACO personality characteristics, and social isolation play important roles in predicting distress tolerance in substance-dependent individuals.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-healing training on psychological capital, distress Tolerance, and headaches in addicts' spouses.

This study was a semi-experimental design with two group (experimental & control) and three stage (pre-test, post-test and follow up). The study population was women with addicted spouse (traditional and industrial drug abuse) that they were member of Addicts Families Association in Isfahan town in the first half of 2019. 30 subjects who were willing to participate in the study were selected using convenience sampling method based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned to experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The sample of the study responded Luthans’ Psychological Capital Questionnaire (2007), Simmons & Gaher’s (2005) Distress Tolerance Scale, and Najarian’s Headache Symptoms Questionnaire (1995). Self-healing training package of Latifi, Marvi & Loyd (2018) was given to the experimental group for twelve sessions (one 90-minute sessions weekly).

The results of the study indicated that self-healing training was effective on psychological capital, distress tolerance and headache among women with addicted spouse (p<0.05) and these results were stable also over time.

Therefore, self-healing method can be used as one of the latest approaches to improve mental and physical health of addict families in health centers.

Several factors including personality and social factors are effective on drug use. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prediction model of students' addiction potential based on distress tolerance and differentiation with the mediating role of alexithymia.

The research method was descriptive and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study included all undergraduate students of Azad University branches in Tehran in the academic year of 2018-2019 (about 47000 students). Cluster sampling method was used to select the study sample. Thus, 350 students were selected as the sample group in the form of 15 classes. Research instruments included the Weed and Butcher’s Addiction Potential Scale (1992), the Toronto’s Alexithymia Scale (1994), the Skowron and Friedlander’s Differentiation of Self Scale (1998), and the Simmons & Gaher’s Distress Tolerance Scale (2005). Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis.

The results of the conceptual model test showed that the fit indices of the research were acceptable. Differentiation and distress tolerance had a direct effect on addiction potetnial (p <0.05). Also, the hypothesis regarding the indirect effect of differentiation on students' addiction potential through alexithymia was confirmed (p <0.05). Alexithymia had a significant mediator role in the relationship between distress tolerance and addiction potential (p <0.05).

The findings of the study indicated the suitable fit of the conceptual model of research. Accordingly, in addiction therapy clinics, giving attention to predictors of distress tolerance and differentiation is necessary to reduce the level of addiction potential.

The study aim was to investigate the fitness of Iranian adolescents' risk-taking model in addiction with emphasis on family functioning and maladaptive schemas, distress tolerance and emotion regulation among Qom students.

The research method was descriptive-correlational of structural equations. The study population consisted of all adolescents who were studying in the second high schools of Qom city in 1396-97 that 322 subjects were selected by cluster random sampling. Questionnaires included: Simmons & Gaher distress tolerance Questionnaire (2005), Grenfski and et al. Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2001), Epstein and et al. Family Functioning Questionnaire (1995), Young's Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire (1994) and Weed and et al. Addiction Acceptance Scale (1992); Structural equation statistical test and LISREL were used to test the hypotheses.

The results showed that family function had significant effect on addiction risk and there was a significant relationship between family function and addiction risk. The results also showed that family functioning has an indirect and significant effect on the risk of addiction through emotional regulation and distress tolerance. In addition, the results of the present study showed that early maladaptive schemas have significant and significant effect on addiction risk. Also, maladaptive schemas have an indirect and significant effect on the risk of addiction through emotion regulation  but, early maladaptive schemas do not have an impact on the risk of addiction due to distress tolerance. In addition, according to the results of the present study, distress tolerance and emotional regulation have a significant and direct effect on the risk of addiction. In general, four variables were able to explain the risk factor for addiction in adolescents.

In this study, identifying a number of psychological variables affecting students' tendency to drug addiction, it is necessary to pay more attention to mental health of students and formulate preventive and therapeutic programs in this field to reduce the prevalence of addiction and to eliminate its deleterious effects.

The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and distress tolerance with life satisfaction of addictive students.

The sample consisted of 300 undergraduate and postgraduate students (200 females, 100 males) who were selected by random cluster sampling and were screened by Wade and Butcher addiction potential test. Then, they were evaluated by Conner and Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2001), Simons & Gahr's Distress Tolerance Scale (2005), the satisfaction with life scale of Diener, E., Emmons, R. A., Larsan, R. J., & Griffin (1985).

The hypothetical model was investigated. The results showed that the good fit of the proposed model with the research data. The results showed that positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies were directly and indirectly (mediated by resilience) correlated with life satisfaction of susceptible students, but indirectly was a strong predictor of life satisfaction. Distress tolerance had a significant relationship with the life satisfaction of the students exposed to addiction with the mediating role of resilience.

It can be said that improving positive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and distress tolerance skills can be useful for implementing preventive interventions and resiliency training programs and increasing life satisfaction in students exposed to addiction.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between emotion regulation and distress tolerance with job motivation of police officers in Bojnourd city. The statistical population of this research includes all police officers of Bojnourd city. Based on Morgan table,
148 of them were selected as sample. To measure the variables of the research, Grass’s Thriller Adjustment Questionnaire (2005),Simmons and Gaher Distress Tolerance(2005) and job motivation were used by Hackman and Oldham (1980). The questionnaires were distributed among the statistical sample through available sampling. Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression were used to analyze the data. The results of stepwise regression coefficient showed that stress and distress tolerance variables were able to predict the job motivation of law enforcement personnel. Also, there was a significant correlation between the Pearson correlation coefficient: there was a significant relationship between the emotional adjustment variable and the distress tolerance variable with the job motivation of the police officers (0.5),as well as between the excitement setting and stress tolerance with job motivation. (0.5).

The aim of the present study was to compare distress tolerance and positive and negative affects between substance-dependent individuals and normal subjects. This research was a casual-comparative study. The research statistical population included all substance-dependent individuals referred to Semnan Internship and Work Therapy Center. Also, the statistical population of normal subjects included normal relatives of substance-dependent individuals. In order to select the sample, 80 subjects (40 normal subjects, 40 substance-dependent individuals) were selected by a convenient sampling method and completed the Distress Tolerance Scale and the Positive and Negative Affect schedule (PANAS). The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there is a significant difference between normal subjects and substance-dependent individuals on the components of distress tolerance and positive and negative affects, so that substance-dependent individuals had lower scores on the Distress Tolerance Scale compared to normal subjects. Also, substance-dependent individuals scored higher on negative affect than normal subjects. Overall, the results indicated that substance-dependent individuals had difficulties in emotion regulation and suffered from negative affect. Therefore, this issue should be considered by the experts of substance dependence.
