This study emphasizes the role of pain catastrophizing and state anxiety on pain tolerance and pain-related anxiety. Response expectancies for pain tolerance and pain intensity were tested as potential mediators. A cold-pressor task was used on a healthy sample. Measures were taken before and after cold-pressor procedure, while aversive versus neutral information regarding the cold-pressor task was given prior to the pain induction. An exploratory path model was conducted. Similar paths for pain tolerance and for pain-related anxiety were shown in aversive condition. Also, psychological measures may explain pain experience in aversive context.

这项研究强调了灾难性灾难和状态焦虑对疼痛耐受性和与疼痛相关的焦虑的作用。测试了对疼痛耐受性和疼痛强度的预期反应作为潜在的中介。在健康样本上使用冷压任务。在冷压手术之前和之后采取措施，而在诱发疼痛之前给出有关冷压任务的反感与中性信息。进行了探索性路径模型。在厌恶状态下，显示出类似的耐受疼痛和与疼痛相关的焦虑的途径。同样，心理措施可以解释厌恶性背景下的疼痛经历。
