Table 3.
Mean bivariate correlations (standard deviations) across participants between temperature, intensity (warmth or pain), and SCR for nonpainful (below diagonal) and painful (above diagonal) stimulation in the two-step pain assessment.
Measure | 1. | 2. | 3. |
---|---|---|---|
1. Temperature | -- | .77 (19) | .32 (.28) |
2. Warmth/Pain | .53 (.29) | -- | .36 (.38) |
3. SCR (AUC) | .10 (.29) | .06 (.28) | -- |
Notes. Correlations are calculated within-person and averaged across participants. Standard deviations of correlations are reported in parentheses. Because of averaging, significance levels of correlations are not calculated. Correlation means and standard deviations are calculated using Fisher’s z-transformation, to account for non-normalcy in the distribution of correlations.
