Pain severity classification as a function of high and low values on the independent variables identified as significantly associated with severity ratings.

Pain Intensity (0–10)	N (Low/High)*	Verbal pain classification
		None/Very Mild/Mild (Low/High)*	Moderate (Low/High)*	Severe/Very Severe (Low/High)*
Pain-Related Dysfunction Beliefs factor
0–4	281(199/82)	55%/37%	44%/50%	1%/13%
5–6	151 (63/88)	18%/11%	60%/56%	22%/33%
7–10	162 (35/127)	19%4%	69%/36%	23%/57%
Pain-Related Emotionality Beliefs factor
0–4	281 (136/145)	55%/44%	41%/50%	4%/6%
5–6	151 (78/73)	12%/16%	58%/58%	31%/26%
7–10	162 (83/79)	7%/3%	33%/36%	60%/57%
Biomedical Beliefs factor
0–4	281 (152/129)	53%/46%	43%/50%	5%/5%
5–6	151 (73/78)	15%/13%	64%/51%	21%/36%
7–10	162 (72/90)	7%/3%	47%/29%	46%/69%

^*Low = below median and High = above median for the independent variable effect examined.

Note: The effect of each independent variable on the verbal descriptor chosen for each range of pain intensity (0–4, 5–6, or 7–10) is evident in the differences in percentages in each cell (see text).
