Abstract
PDF - Background
This study examined the effects of an intervention to improving distress tolerance, drinking refusal self-efficacy, and alcohol consumption in problematic drinkers.
Methods
Adults who reported problematic drinking were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=11) or comparison group (n=11). The groups were either administered treatment to improve distress tolerance or watch a video in which abstinent women talked about their drinking and abstinence experiences.
Results
The repeated-measures ANOVA showed no significant change in alcohol consumption in the intervention group. However, appraisal, a distress tolerance subscale, and opportunity for drink refusal self-efficacy, a drink refusal self-efficacy subscale, increased.
Conclusions
Short-term interventions to improve distress tolerance may help change distress tolerance and drinking refusal self-efficacy.

Background This study sought to analyze the structural relationships between optimism, distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and psychological well-being among undergraduates who have experienced a loss.
Methods Subjects comprised 435 university students (258 females and 177 males), with their duration of grief experience and the elapsed period from when the loss occurred having been taken into consideration.
Results Distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, and deliberate rumination mediated the relationship between optimism and psychological well-being sequentially. Additionally, there were significant differences between the “less than 6 months” and “more than 6 months” groups in the structural relationships between optimism, distress tolerance, grief avoidance, intrusive rumination, deliberate rumination, and psychological well-being.
Conclusions The direct path of grief avoidance to psychological well-being was not significant, but it was found to have a significant effect through the sequential mediations of intrusive rumination and deliberate rumination. This result suggests the need for active intervention to allow people to face and cope with life after a loss, without avoiding the loss experience.
