Abstract
Theories of attention and pain predict that individuals with chronic pain will display attentional biases towards pain related information. Eysenck, however, suggested that individuals differ in their attentional biases for threat (e.g. disability and pain) as an interactive function of trait anxiety and defensiveness. Weinberger et al. suggested four personality types1 based on measures of defensiveness and trait anxiety; repressors (low anxiety/high defensiveness), low-anxious (low anxiety/defensiveness), high-anxious (high anxiety/low defensiveness) and defensive high-anxious (high anxiety/defensiveness).
