The interaction between pain duration and pain catastrophizing in relating to perceptions of solicitous spouse responses to pain. Post-hoc probing of the simple slopes indicated that pain catastrophizing was positively related to solicitous spouse responses to pain among participants with shorter (−1 SD) pain durations (B 0.37, SE 0.12, Beta = 0.55, t = 3.22, P < 0.01). There was a trend for mean pain duration in the same direction (B = 0.14, SE 0.07, Beta = 0.21, t = 2.16, P < 0.04). However, catastrophizing and solicitous spouse responses were not significantly related in participants with longer (+1 SD) pain durations (B = −0.08, SE = 0.12, Beta = −0.13, t = −0.70 P > 0.48).
