However, limited research has been conducted as to the effects of fear of COVID-19 on the internal structure of the cognitive judgments of satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate the intercorrelation that existed between fear of COVID-19 and cognitive judgments of satisfaction via taking a sample of the population in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (n = 214). The findings suggested that there was a significant correlation between fear of COVID-19 and cognitive judgments of satisfaction. Accordingly, the results indicated that they share a significant negative association. Furthermore, results revealed that the level of fear that an individual experience during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacts on different types of life dissatisfaction. Therefore, individuals with different types of dissatisfaction in life (i.e., extremely dissatisfied, dissatisfied, and sl...

In particular, the studies address three issues which are fundamental to understanding the nature of distress intolerance. Furthermore, an examination of these issues is essential if a fully comprehensive account of distress intolerance, which is currently not well specified, is to be gained. The first issue to be addressed is insularity and the multifaceted conceptualisation of distress intolerance. This issue was investigated in Study One, whereby a new conceptualisation of distress intolerance was employed. The second issue here pertains to measuring the construct of distress intolerance. This issue was investigated in Studies One, Two and Three. Study One introduced the Distress Intolerance ...

(2010). Exploratory (n = 511) and confirmatory (n = 157) factor analytic studies of items from five established measures of distress intolerance suggest a 20-item measure representing five dimensions of distress intolerance (uncertainty, ambiguity, physical discomfort, frustration, and negative emotion). A comparison of latent factor models suggests that a bifactor model may present the best fit to the data, reflecting the identification of a general factor of distress intolerance while also recognizing the multidimensionality of the five group factors. The current findings suggest a parsimonious measure of five factors of distress intolerance, though further research may consider method and measurement biases and the convergent and discriminant validity of the subscales.
