description In this study the role of individual differences was assessed in a setting of aversive stimulation. Eighty rubjects divided into High self-control and Low self-control groups, according to their scores in Rosenbaum�s Self-control Scale, undertook the cold-pressor test. The main purpose of the study were the following: (1) to test if high and low self-control subjects showed differences in perceived tolerance and distress when confronted with the cold-pressor; (2) to test the type of strategies used by high and low self-control subjects to cope with aversive stimulation, and their relative efficacy; (3) to test if the use of a pleasant-distractive strategy or one that enhances the subject�s own competency when confronted with an aversive situation, differentially affects the high and low self-control subjects in the perceived tolerance and distress. The results of the covariance analysis did not show significant differences between high and low self-control subjects in time of tolerance to the freezing water, nor in perceived distress during the test, although in this last variable an interaction was found between experimental groups and self-control levels. The results are discussed.
