以往对大学生的研究为疼痛灾变量表的信度和倾斜三因子结构提供了支持。我们在成人社区和疼痛门诊样本中检验了PCS的信度和效度。两组的PCS表现出较高的内部一致性。利用社区样本的数据，验证性因子分析表明，社区信息系统挖掘了一个具有三个相关维度特征的单一结构。社区样本和门诊样本的PCS总分存在性别差异。分析还显示社区和门诊样本在PCS总量表和亚量表上存在显著差异。总体而言，研究结果显示社区样本的个人信息服务具有标准相关效度、并发效度和区别效度，并讨论了本研究的局限性。
Previous studies with undergraduates have provided support for the reliability and oblique three-factor structure of a new scale, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). We examined the reliability and validity of the PCS in adult community and pain outpatient samples. The PCS showed a high internal consistency in both groups. Using data front the community sample, confirmatory factor analyses showed that the PCS taps a single construct characterized by three related dimensions. Gender differences were obtained on the PCS total score in the community and the outpatient samples. The analyses also showed significant differences between the community and the outpatient samples on the PCS total and subscales. Overall, the results showed strong evidence of criterion-related, concurrent, and discriminant validity for the PCS in the community sample, Limitations of the present study are discussed.
