- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III. The original three-factor structure of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III was confirmed and indicated a good to excellent level of internal consistency. Criterion validity was supported by positive significant correlations between the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III scores and measures of pain catastrophizing and anxiety sensitivity; discriminant validity was supported by non-significant correlations between the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III scores and measures of pain intensity and depressive symptomatology. The findings support the reliability and validity of the scores obtained by the Spanish version of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III.
