Using a computer version of the emotional stroop task, it was investigated whether chronic pain patients display an involuntary attentional shift towards pain-related information (sensory, affective pain words and injury related words). Multiple regression analyses were used to investigate which pain and psychosocial variables (pain severity, pain-related fear, pain catastrophizing and negative affect) were predictive of attentional bias. Results indicated: (1) that there was an attentional bias towards the sensory pain words; and (2) that current pain intensity was predictive of the effect. No other attentional effects were found. The results are discussed in terms of possible reasons for the difficulty of demonstrating attentional bias in chronic pain patients.
使用计算机版的情绪斯特鲁普任务，研究了慢性疼痛患者是否会不由自主地将注意力转向与疼痛相关的信息（感觉、情感疼痛词汇和损伤相关词汇）。采用多元回归分析来研究哪些疼痛和心理社会变量（疼痛严重程度、与疼痛相关的恐惧、疼痛灾难化和负面影响）可预测注意力偏差。结果表明：（1）对感觉疼痛词汇存在注意力偏差；（2）当前疼痛强度可预测该效应。未发现其他注意力效应。从难以证明慢性疼痛患者存在注意力偏差的可能原因方面对结果进行了讨论。
