Summary
The Frustration Intolerance Scale for Students (FISS) is a reliable tool for measuring frustration intolerance in young people. It helps assess various dimensions of this trait in children and adolescents.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Background:
- Frustration intolerance (FI) is the belief that reality should align with personal desires for ease and comfort.
- Existing tools for measuring FI in children and adolescents are limited.
- The Frustration Intolerance Scale for Students (FISS) was developed to address this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the structural properties of the FISS.
- To assess the psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, of the FISS using a longitudinal design.
Main Methods:
- Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on a sample of 780 students.
- A retest was conducted after 5 months with 611 participants.
- FI, anger, empathy, academic interest, and self-efficacy were assessed at both time points.
Main Results:
- The eight-plus-one model was identified as the optimal structure for the FISS.
- The FISS demonstrated good internal consistency and fair test-retest reliability.
- Significant correlations were found between FI dimensions and anger, empathy, academic interest, and self-efficacy.
Conclusions:
- The FISS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing frustration intolerance in children and adolescents.
- The scale effectively measures various dimensions of FI, supporting its clinical and research utility.

01:20Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance
39
Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.

01:14Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance
50
Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

01:19F Distribution
3.7K
The F distribution was named after Sir Ronald Fisher, an English statistician. The F statistic is a ratio (a fraction) with two sets of degrees of freedom; one for the numerator and one for the denominator. The F distribution is derived from the Student's t distribution. The values of the F distribution are squares of the corresponding values of the t distribution. One-Way ANOVA expands the t test for comparing more than two groups. The scope of that derivation is beyond the level of this...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

02:09Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
37.4K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

01:14Identifying Statistically Significant Differences: The F-Test
1.6K
The F-test is used to compare two sample variances to each other or compare the sample variance to the population variance. It is used to decide whether an indeterminate error can explain the difference in their values. The underlying assumptions that allow the use of the F-test include the data set or sets are normally distributed, and the data sets are independent of each other. The test statistic F is calculated by dividing one variance by another. In other words, the square of one standard...
