本研究验证了这一理论，即负面影响和一个人的能力，以容忍痛苦是与未能退出赌博期间禁欲的尝试。具体而言，16名现时病态赌徒曾有至少一段持续戒赌期，持续时间最少为3个月（即2008年1月至2009年1月）。例如，延迟复吸者）及16名从未禁欲超过两星期的病态赌徒（即，例如，立即复发者），评估基线水平的负面影响和应激反应，以及面临的心理（心算）和身体（屏气）应激源。与延迟复发者相比，立即复发者表现出更高水平的负面情绪和应激反应。立即复吸者也不太可能坚持对心理压力，这表明一个人的能力，容忍最初的不适禁欲尝试可能发挥重要作用，赌博治疗的结果。
The present study tested the theory that negative affect and one's ability to tolerate distress is associated with failure to quit gambling during an abstinence attempt. Specifically, 16 current pathological gamblers who had at least one sustained period of gambling abstinence lasting a minimum of 3 months (i. e., delayed relapsers) and 16 current pathological gamblers who had never remained abstinent for a period longer than 2 weeks (i. e., immediate relapsers), were assessed for baseline levels of negative affect and stress reactivity, as well as faced with a psychological (mental arithmetic) and physical (breath holding) stressor. Compared to the delayed relapsers, the immediate relapsers displayed higher levels of negative affect and stress reactivity. Immediate relapsers also were less likely to persist on the psychological stressor, suggesting that one's ability to tolerate the initial discomfort of an abstinence attempt may play an important role in gambling treatment outcome.
