The global COVID-19 outbreak has put the human race's distress tolerance abilities to the test. And, the distress experienced getting worse with each pandemic wave; however, the more flexible the person, the greater the chance of surviving. Thus, the current study aimed to examine the mediating role of personalized psychological flexibility (PPF) in the link between distress intolerance to psychological distress during the fourth wave of the pandemic in Iran. A total of 576 individuals (Mean_age 34.80, ±10.9, females 55.6%) took part in the online survey. In this national sample, PPF partially played a role in mediating the association mentioned above. Interestingly, this mediation was independent of demographic factors (age, gender, marital status, and educational level) and fear of COVID-19, mindfulness, and satisfaction with life. So, despite the mentioned variables, accepting and using unpleasant emotions as fuel to achieve valued goals rather than avoiding them would mitigate the psychological distress during the pandemic. Consequently, public health services can aim to provide psychological flexibility enhancing interventions to decay COVID-19-related mental distress.

个性化心理灵活性在痛苦不耐受和心理痛苦之间的中介作用：伊朗第四波 COVID-19 大流行期间的全国调查

全球 COVID-19 疫情对人类的痛苦承受能力进行了考验。而且，每次大流行浪潮都会使痛苦变得更糟；然而，人越灵活，生存的机会就越大。因此，目前的研究旨在检验个性化心理灵活性（PPF）在伊朗第四波大流行期间痛苦不耐受与心理痛苦之间的联系中的中介作用。共 576 人（平均_年龄34.80，±10.9，女性 55.6%）参加了在线调查。在这个国家样本中，PPF 部分地起到了调解上述关联的作用。有趣的是，这种调解与人口因素（年龄、性别、婚姻状况和教育水平）和对 COVID-19 的恐惧、正念和对生活的满意度无关。因此，尽管有上述变量，接受和使用不愉快的情绪作为实现有价值目标的燃料，而不是避免它们，将减轻大流行期间的心理困扰。因此，公共卫生服务可以旨在提供心理灵活性增强干预措施，以消除与 COVID-19 相关的精神困扰。
