Mean (SD) PIPS scores by fibromyalgia clusters
| Entire sample (N=250) |
Clusters |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High A and CF ( n =92) | Medium A and high CF ( n =81) | Low A and CF ( n =77) | ||
| Avoidance (A)* |
36.29 (14.1) |
50.88 (3.9) |
35.62 (4.1) |
18.27 (5.2) |
| Cognitive Fusion (CF)* |
20.81(5.7) |
24.29 (4.3) |
22.40 (3.9) |
16.02 (5.5) |
| Total Score | 57.10 (18.2) | 75.17 (6.5) | 58.02 (6.3) | 34.29 (8.5) |
*Pairwise comparisons of the PIPS total and subscale scores were all significantly different among the clusters. These differences should only be used descriptively as the cluster analytic procedure was designed to maximize them.
