Previous studies examining pain drawings of low back pain patients have shown conflicting results in predicting elevations of MMPI scores. A study of 82 patients whose drawings were rated only for overall, anatomical appropriateness was conducted using the SCL-90 rather than the MMPI as the psychological assessment instrument. Significant differences were found between appropriate and inappropriate drawings; however, these differences seem to reflect differences in cognitive style of coping with pain as opposed to psychopathology. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
先前对腰痛患者疼痛绘图的研究在预测明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）分数升高方面显示出相互矛盾的结果。一项针对82名患者的研究，其绘图仅根据整体、解剖学适宜性进行评分，该研究使用症状自评量表（SCL - 90）而非MMPI作为心理评估工具。在适宜和不适宜的绘图之间发现了显著差异；然而，这些差异似乎反映了应对疼痛的认知风格差异，而非精神病理学差异。文中讨论了该研究的意义和局限性。
