^*Adjusted for familial contributions.

N = neuroticism, Stress = VAS stress rating at time of McGill completion, Mood = VAS mood rating at time of McGill completion, Negative = PANAS negative affect, A = agreeableness, C = conscientiousness. All analyses were adjusted for age, zygosity, and pain status. Sample size = 174 when the VAS or PANAS measures were included in the models.
