Notes: All loadings significant at the P<0.001 level;

a

CR = composite reliability;

FVIF = Full collinearity variance information factor;

d

Normal = Normal (robust Jarque–Bera).

e

VAS = visual analogue scale,

f

PPI = present pain intensity,

g

VAS (ave) = average pain intensity on visual analogue scale;

h

FABQ = fear avoidance beliefs questionnaire,

i

FABQ (work) = work activity related fear,

j

FABQ (physical) = physical activity related fear.
