Distress tolerance represents the capacity to bear and manage negative psychological states associated with distress. Low distress tolerance is a transdiagnostic construct implicated in many psychopathological conditions. The Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) is a 15-item self-report instrument specifically designed to assess this construct. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the DTS. Factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, and construct validity were investigated in 477 participants from the general population. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the one-factor structure of the DTS. The scale also showed good internal consistency, temporal stability, and construct validity. These findings suggest that the Italian version of the DTS retains the adequate psychometric properties of the original and suggest that it can be confidently used as an assessment tool of distress tolerance in both clinical and research settings.

苦难容忍度代表承受和处理与苦难相关的负面心理状态的能力。低遇险耐受性是涉及许多心理病理状况的一种经诊断的结构。遇难容忍量表（DTS）是一种15项自我报告工具，专门用于评估该结构。这项研究的目的是调查DTS意大利语版的心理测量特性。对来自一般人群的477名参与者进行了因素结构，内部一致性，时间稳定性和结构效度的调查。探索性和确定性因素分析支持DTS的一因素结构。该量表还显示出良好的内部一致性，时间稳定性和结构效度。
