Roditi D et al. – The present study measured the effects of catastrophizing self–statements and positive coping self–statements on cold pressor–induced pain. It was hypothesized that catastrophizing would lead to a decrease in pain endurance whereas positive coping would lead to an increase in pain endurance. It was also hypothesized that catastrophizing would lead to an increase in peak pain intensity whereas positive coping would lead to a decrease in peak pain intensity...ANCOVA results revealed that on average, participants employing catastrophizing statements as a coping strategy experienced significantly lower PSR compared to participants employing positive coping self–statements when controlling for pretest PSR. Group assignment had no significant influence on peak pain intensity ratings. Thus, these results reveal that manipulation of coping causes changes in pain endurance.
