Table 4.
Multiple mediation models evaluating the effect of lifetime racial discrimination on pain-related outcomes via pain catastrophizing and pain resilience.
| Direct Effect on Sensory Pain (MPQ-S) | Coefficient | SE | t | p | 95% LLCI | 95% ULCI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discrimination → MPQ-S | 1.14 | 0.65 | 1.76 | .080 | −0.14 | 2.41 |
| Indirect Effects on MPQ-S (via mediators) | Effect | Boot SE | BootLLCI | BootULCI | Effect size | |
| Pain catastrophizing | 0.60 | 0.29 | 0.13 | 1.25 | 0.88 | |
| Pain resilience | 0.08 | 0.13 | −0.11 | 0.39 | 0.12 | |
| Direct Effect on Affective Pain (MPQ-A) | Coefficient | SE | t | p | 95% LLCI | 95% ULCI |
| Discrimination → MPQ-A | 0.45 | 0.21 | 2.15 | .034 | .035 | 0.86 |
| Indirect Effects on MPQ-A (via mediators) | Effect | Boot SE | BootLLCI | BootULCI | Effect size | |
| Pain catastrophizing | 0.13 | 0.07 | 0.12 | 0.29 | 0.82 | |
| Pain resilience | 0.03 | 0.04 | −0.03 | 0.12 | 0.18 | |
| Direct Effect on Pain Interference (INT) | Coefficient | SE | t | p | 95% LLCI | 95% ULCI |
| Discrimination → INT | 0.28 | 0.42 | 0.66 | .509 | −0.55 | 1.10 |
| Indirect Effects on INT (via mediators) | Effect | Boot SE | BootLLCI | BootULCI | Effect size | |
| Pain catastrophizing | 0.40 | 0.21 | 0.08 | 0.89 | 1.02 | |
| Pain resilience | −.009 | 0.05 | −0.12 | 0.09 | 0.02 | |
Note. LLCI = lower level of 95% confidence interval; ULCI = upper level of 95% confidence interval; effect size = ratio of indirect to total effect.
