Pain catastrophizing is generally viewed as an important cognitive factor underlying chronic pain. The present study examined personality and temperament correlates of pain catastrophizing in a sample of young adolescents (N = 132). Participants completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Children, as well as scales for measuring sensitivity of the behavioral inhibition and behavioral activation systems (BIS-BAS), and various reactive and regulative temperament traits. Results demonstrated that BIS, reactive temperament traits (fear and anger-frustration), and perceptual sensitivity were positively related to pain catastrophizing, whereas regulative traits (attention control, inhibitory control) were negatively associated with this cognitive factor. Further, regression analyses demonstrated that only BIS and the temperamental traits of fear and perceptual sensitivity accounted for a unique proportion of the variance in adolescents' pain catastrophizing scores.
疼痛灾难化通常被视为慢性疼痛背后的一个重要认知因素。本研究在一个青少年样本（N = 132）中考察了疼痛灾难化与人格及气质的相关性。参与者完成了儿童疼痛灾难化量表，以及用于测量行为抑制系统和行为激活系统（BIS - BAS）敏感性的量表，还有各种反应性和调节性气质特征量表。结果表明，行为抑制系统、反应性气质特征（恐惧和愤怒 - 挫折感）以及感知敏感性与疼痛灾难化呈正相关，而调节性特征（注意力控制、抑制控制）与这一认知因素呈负相关。此外，回归分析表明，只有行为抑制系统以及恐惧和感知敏感性的气质特征在青少年疼痛灾难化得分的方差中占独特比例。
