Distress tolerance is an emerging construct in psychology that has been conceptualised in several different ways. Broadly, it refers to an individual’s:
“perceived capacity to withstand negative emotional and/or other aversive states (e.g. physical discomfort), and the behavioral act of withstanding distressing internal states elicited by some type of stressor.”
Some definitions of distress tolerance have also specified that the endurance of these negative events occur in contexts in which methods to escape the distressor exist.
