Abstract
Our study explored relationships between distress tolerance (DT) and stress appraisals. Participants completed surveys of DT and stress appraisals in relation to a stress induction. Lower levels of DT were related to more negative cognitive appraisals, such as appraising the stressor as more stressful, threatening, uncontrollable, and controllable by others.
