One of the components that can be effective for physical and psychological health in stressful conditions is the personality trait "Distress Tolerance".

The statistical population consisted of all students of Sistan and Baluchestan University in 2018. A sample of 360 individuals was selected through multistage cluster sampling. Students completed loneliness, self-handicapping, and distress tolerance questionnaires. The results of the study showed that there is a significant negative correlation between loneliness and self-handicapping with distress tolerance.
