What people are saying
Discussions reflect a balanced appreciation of the research, with specific references to considerations of 'interoceptive or anxiety sensitivity' and phrases like 'should be taken into account,' indicating an understanding of nuanced factors influencing distress tolerance measures. The tone is analytical and indicates moderate engagement with the methodological and theoretical implications of the study.
Most discussants agree that the article highlights important considerations about using breath holding as a measure of distress tolerance, emphasizing factors like interoception and anxiety sensitivity.
Participants show a moderate level of interest, noting the relevance of individual differences and the connection to psychological traits.
The comments demonstrate some engagement, with mentions of related concepts like interoceptive awareness and implications for future research.
While the discussion recognizes the study’s contribution, there is limited indication that the post has widespread influence on the field or practice yet.
Abstract in brief
- The study found that breath holding time (BHT) is reliably consistent over a year, indicating good test-retest reliability, but it does not seem to be directly related to performance on executive control tasks like WCST, GoNoGo, or N-back.
- The moderate discomfort caused by breath holding in participants suggests that other factors beyond distress tolerance, such as physiological or motivational influences, may affect breath holding duration.
- The findings imply that BHT may not accurately reflect active inhibitory control in healthy individuals and that variables like interoceptive awareness or anxiety sensitivity should be considered when using BHT as a measure of distress tolerance.
