Data collection tools included Object Relationships Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale, and Emotional Distress Tolerance Scale. Data analysis tools were SPSS18 and AMOS-23. Results: The results showed that between the relationship between object and emotional distress tolerance (p <0.01, r =-0.36) and between maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and emotional distress tolerance (p <0.01, r -0.39) There is also a significant relationship between adaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and tolerance of emotional distress (p<0.01, r=0.36). The findings also confirmed the mediating role of emotional distress tolerance (p<0.01, B=0.60) in the relationship between object relationships and emotional distress tolerance.
