Note. Significant main effects and interactions are highlighted in bold. Same pattern of results were observed when controlling for relationship quality (see Supplementary Material, Table S1). While the interaction between attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance was statistically significant, follow-up tests were non-significant/trend level (see Supplementary Material, Figure S1). Baseline pain as a covariate was statistically significant across all pain outcomes, P < 0.05.
