Low Frustration Tolerance and sleep quality: negative associations found in four independent studies
The European health psychologist, 2017Co-Authors: T. KushnirAbstract:Background: Dysfunctional thoughts impact many aspects of behavior, functioning and well-being. For example ruminations are associated with pre-sleep cognitive arousal and are predictors of poor sleep quality. We assessed the association between a specific type of dysfunctional thinking and sleep quality. Low Frustration Tolerance (LFT) is one of the core indicators of dysfunctional thinking, according to Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. LFT denotes inTolerance of, and inability to accept unpleasant physical or emotional discomfort and therefore can also be viewed as discomfort-inTolerance. This tendency to exaggerate Frustrations and inconveniences may have various dysfunctional behavioural consequences, e.g. procrastination, resistance to change and failure to adhere to medical guidelines. One would therefore expect individuals with such a disposition to be prone to stress and distress and report impaired sleep quality. Method: Altogether 421 Israeli men and women, ages ranging between 17 and 66, participated in four independent online studies. All participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a measure of subjective sleep quality; and a measure of LFT (developed by Kushnir et al, 2006). Results: Significant negative associations were found in all four studies between sleep quality (general score) and LFT: (r= -0.32, p

Results: Significant negative associations were found in all four studies between sleep quality (general score) and LFT: (r= -0.32, p<0.01; r= -0.341, p<.01; r= -0.26, p<.05; r= -0.35, p<.01). Discussion: The findings of significant negative correlations between LFT and sleep quality in four independent studies suggest that this association is not random and should be explored further. Although we view LFT to be trait-like, the correlational nature of these findings precludes a causal interpretation. A longitudinal approach is warranted.

predicting parent child aggression risk in mothers and fathers role of emotion regulation and Frustration Tolerance
Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2017Co-Authors: Christina M Rodriguez, Levi R Baker, Doris F Pu, Meagan C TuckerAbstract:Efforts to identify targets that could be instrumental for child abuse prevention programs have often implicated stress as a key risk factor. However, existing research has not adequately considered the role of emotion dysregulation and Frustration inTolerance in predicting parents’ risk to engage in parent-child aggression (PCA). In addition, research in this field continues to focus heavily on mothers, with limited attention to fathers. Thus, the current study investigated whether perceived stress and distress, emotion dysregulation, and Frustration inTolerance independently predicted risk of PCA in a sample of 81 couples; moreover, the study evaluated whether emotion regulation or Frustration Tolerance mediated or moderated the association between stress and PCA risk. Findings indicated that each of the risk factors uniquely predicted PCA risk after controlling for demographic factors; neither emotion dysregulation nor Frustration inTolerance moderated the association between stress and PCA risk but emotion regulation did partially mediate this association. No significant differences in the pattern of these relationships were observed between mothers and fathers. Future research directions are discussed, including methodological considerations as well as evaluating how emotion regulation skills training and improved parental Frustration Tolerance may prevent parent-child aggression.

analog assessment of Frustration Tolerance association with self reported child abuse risk and physiological reactivity
Child Abuse & Neglect, 2015Co-Authors: Christina M Rodriguez, Mary Bower Russa, John C KircherAbstract:Although Frustration has long been implicated in promoting aggression, the potential for poor Frustration Tolerance to function as a risk factor for physical child abuse risk has received minimal attention. Instead, much of the extant literature has examined the role of anger in physical abuse risk, relying on self-reports of the experience or expression of anger, despite the fact that this methodology is often acknowledged as vulnerable to bias. Therefore, the present investigation examined whether a more implicit, analog assessment of Frustration Tolerance specifically relevant to parenting would reveal an association with various markers of elevated physical child abuse risk in a series of samples that varied with regard to age, parenting status, and abuse risk. An analog task was designed to evoke parenting-relevant Frustration: the task involved completing an unsolvable task while listening to a crying baby or a toddler's temper tantrum; time scores were generated to gauge participants' persistence in the task when encountering such Frustration. Across these studies, low Frustration Tolerance was associated with increased physical child abuse potential, greater use of parent-child aggression in discipline encounters, dysfunctional disciplinary style, support for physical discipline use and physical discipline escalation, and increased heart rate. Future research directions that could better inform intervention and prevention programs are discussed, including working to clarify the processes underlying Frustration inTolerance and potential interactive influences that may exacerbate physical child abuse.

Mothers of children with externalizing behavior problems: Cognitive risk factors for abuse potential and discipline style and practices
Child Abuse & Neglect, 2008Co-Authors: Erika M. Mcelroy, Christina M RodriguezAbstract:Objective Utilizing the conceptual framework of the Social Information Processing (SIP) model ([Milner, 1993] and [Milner, 2000]), associations between cognitive risk factors and child physical abuse risk and maladaptive discipline style and practices were examined in an at-risk population. Methods Seventy-three mothers of 5–12-year-old children, who were identified by their therapist as having an externalizing behavior problem, responded to self-report measures pertaining to cognitive risk factors (empathic perspective taking, Frustration Tolerance, developmental expectations, parenting locus of control), abuse risk, and discipline style and practices. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) provided a confirmation of the child's externalizing behaviors independent of the therapist's assessment. Results The results of this study suggest several cognitive risk factors significantly predict risk of parental aggression toward children. A parent's ability to empathize and take the perspective of their child, parental locus of control, and parental level of Frustration Tolerance were significant predictors of abuse potential (accounting for 63% of the variance) and inappropriate discipline practices (accounting for 55% of the variance). Conclusions Findings of the present study provide support for processes theorized in the SIP model. Specifically, results underscore the potential role of parents’ Frustration Tolerance, developmental expectations, locus of control, and empathy as predictive of abuse potential and disciplinary style in an at-risk sample.

a brief behavioral measure of Frustration Tolerance predicts academic achievement immediately and two years later
Emotion, 2019Co-Authors: Peter Meindl, Alisa Yu, Brian M Galla, Abigail Quirk, Carly Haeck, Parker J Goyer, C W Lejuez, Sidney K Dmello, Angela L DuckworthAbstract:: Achieving important goals is widely assumed to require confronting obstacles, failing repeatedly, and persisting in the face of Frustration. Yet empirical evidence linking achievement and Frustration Tolerance is lacking. To facilitate work on this important topic, we developed and validated a novel behavioral measure of Frustration Tolerance: the Mirror Tracing Frustration Task (MTFT). In this 5-min task, participants allocate time between a difficult tracing task and entertaining games and videos. In two studies of young adults (Study 1: N = 148, Study 2: N = 283), we demonstrated that the MTFT increased Frustration more than 18 other emotions, and that MTFT scores were related to self-reported Frustration Tolerance. Next, we assessed whether Frustration Tolerance correlated with similar constructs, including self-control and grit, as well as objective measures of real-world achievement. In a prospective longitudinal study of high-school seniors (N = 391), MTFT scores predicted grade-point average and standardized achievement test scores, and-more than 2 years after completing the MTFT-progress toward a college degree. Though small in size (i.e., rs ranging from .10 to .24), Frustration Tolerance predicted outcomes over and above a rich set of covariates, including IQ, sociodemographics, self-control, and grit. These findings demonstrate the validity of the MTFT and highlight the importance of Frustration Tolerance for achieving valued goals. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

adhd and depression the role of poor Frustration Tolerance
Current Developmental Disorders Reports, 2017Co-Authors: Karen E Seymour, Leslie MillerAbstract:Unipolar depression is a common comorbidity in children with ADHD with rates ranging from 12-50%. Compared to children with ADHD alone, children with comorbid ADHD and depression require more intense interventions since they experience higher levels of stress and more psychosocial and familial problems. One mechanism hypothesized to underlie the relationship between ADHD and depression is emotion dysregulation. Cross-sectional and longitudinal research has shown that emotion dysregulation mediates the relationship between ADHD and depression. However, there are a number of limitations in the extant literature regarding emotion dysregulation as a mechanism underlying the relationship between ADHD and depression. This article aims to review those limitations and propose that by examining a specific type of emotion dysregulation, poor Frustration Tolerance, we may gain critical insight into the mechanisms underlying ADHD and depression. We discuss the construct of Frustration, its neural basis and evidence that poor Frustration Tolerance is a key impairment in children with ADHD. We conclude by suggesting that poor Frustration Tolerance may be a key mechanism underlying the relationship between ADHD and depression, and provide recommendations for how future research can utilize affective neuroscience techniques to examine the neural, behavioral and clinical correlates of Frustration Tolerance in children with ADHD to more comprehensively examine this relationship.
