Book excerpt: Abstract The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the impact of pain catastrophizing on perception of partner response to pain behaviors and relationship satisfaction among injured workers suffering from chronic pain and their partners. The participants were 20 adult married injured workers receiving psychological services in a private practice setting specializing in the treatment of chronic pain and psychological conditions. The partners of these 20 injured workers were also involved in the study. Pain catastrophizing by injured workers was assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Perceived partner response to pain behaviors was assessed using the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory. In an effort to validate perceived partner responses to pain, spouses completed the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory For Significant Others. Finally, relationship satisfaction among injured workers and their spouse was assessed using the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. A McQuitty Linkage Analysis was used to examine the manifold relationships among scales.
