痛苦不耐受（DI），被定义为感知到无法忍受负面情绪状态和体验性不适，被认为是几种焦虑和情绪障碍的一个脆弱因素。在青年样本中对DI的研究相对较少，这在很大程度上是由于缺乏对青年DI的心理测量学上的合理测量。本研究评估了青少年痛苦不耐受指数（DII-Y）和青少年父母报告痛苦不耐受指数（DII-Y- p）的心理测量特性，它们是成人导向的痛苦不耐受指数的向下延伸适应（McHugh和Otto行为治疗43(3),641-651,2012）。参与者是176名青少年（9-17岁）和他们的父母，他们正在寻求治疗儿童焦虑问题。DII-Y和DII-Y- p表现出良好至优异的内部一致性。在DII-Y的情况下，DII-Y和DII-Y- p的收敛效度与对不确定性的不耐受以及焦虑敏感性的测量有很大的、显著的关联。DII-Y和DII-Y- p的判别效度与挑衅行为的测量没有显著的直接关系。结果支持使用DII-Y和DII-Y- p作为评估青少年DI的可靠和有效的工具，为研究DI作为青少年焦虑和情绪障碍病因和维持的潜在因素提供了实用和有效的工具。
Distress Intolerance (DI), defined as the perceived inability to tolerate negative mood states and experiential discomfort, has been posited as a vulnerability factor for several anxiety and emotional disorders. There is a relative paucity of research on DI in youth samples, in large part due to the absence of a psychometrically sound measure of DI in youth. The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Distress Intolerance Index for Youth (DII-Y) and the Distress Intolerance Index for Youth–Parent Report (DII-Y-P), which are downward extension adaptations of the adult-oriented Distress Intolerance Index (McHugh and Otto Behavior Therapy 43(3), 641–651, 2012). Participants were 176 youth (ages 9–17) and their parents who were seeking treatment for child anxiety problems. The DII-Y and DII-Y-P demonstrated good-to-excellent internal consistency. Convergent validity of the DII-Y and the DII-Y-P was supported by large, significant associations with measures of intolerance of uncertainty, as well as with anxiety sensitivity in the case of the DII-Y. Discriminant validity of the DII-Y and the DII-Y-P was supported by the absence of significant direct relationships with a measure of defiant behavior. Results support the use of DII-Y and DII-Y-P as reliable and valid instruments for the assessment of youth DI, providing a practical and efficient tool to study DI as a potential factor in the etiology and maintenance of youth anxiety and emotional disorders.
