最近的一项研究使用持续性疼痛模型观察到了疼痛反应性的行为二分法，这表明该范式可能有助于研究伴随这种二分模式的个体差异。本研究旨在复制这种二分法，并检验在冷压试验中认知应对、情感和疼痛感知测量方面的群体差异。正如先前研究中发现的那样，观察到了疼痛耐受性的双峰分布。47名受试者被归类为疼痛敏感型，24名被确定为疼痛耐受型。与先前的研究一致，与女性相比，更多的男性往往是疼痛耐受型。疼痛耐受型受试者使用灾难化思维的频率明显低于疼痛敏感型受试者，在其他应对方式上也观察到了边际差异。这些群体在一些疼痛测量指标上存在差异，但在情感测量指标上没有差异。这些结果表明，某些认知应对方式与疼痛反应性有关，并且可能是疼痛敏感型和疼痛耐受型受试者之间的一个重要区别特征。
A recent study observed a behavioral dichotomy of pain responsivity using a tonic pain model, suggesting that this paradigm might be useful for studying individual differences accompanying this dichotomous pattern. The present study was conducted to replicate this dichotomy and examine group differences on measures of cognitive coping, affect, and pain perception on the cold-pressor test. As found in the previous study, a bimodal distribution of pain tolerance was observed. Forty-seven subjects were classified as pain-sensitive and 24 were identified as pain-tolerant. Consistent with previous studies, more males tended to be pain-tolerant compared to females. Pain-tolerant subjects used significantly less catastrophizing than pain-sensitive subjects, and marginal differences were observed for other coping styles. The groups differed on several pain measures but not on the measures of affect. These results suggest that certain cognitive coping styles are related to pain responsivity, and may be an important distinguishing feature between pain-sensitive and pain tolerant-subjects.
