Low frustration tolerance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proponents of Albert Ellis' Rational-emotive therapy cite a condition they call low frustration tolerance, or "short-term hedonism" in order to explain why people procrastinate, why some are quick to anger, and other apparently paradoxical or self-defeating behaviors. It is defined as seeking immediate pleasure or avoidance of pain at the cost of long-term stress.
The opposite condition is said to be "high frustration tolerance."
