Moderating role of sex in the association between negative affect and pain intensity 48 h after surgery
| Variables | β | Boot SE | p | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Covariate | ||||
| Baseline pain intensity | 0.30 | 0.12 | 0.01 | LL = 0.07; UL = 0.53 |
| IVs | ||||
| Negative affect | 0.09 | 0.06 | 0.12 | LL = − 0.02; UL = 0.20 |
| Sex | 0.89 | 0.48 | 0.07 | LL = − 0.07; UL = 1.85 |
| Sex * negative affect | − 0.13 | 0.11 | 0.023 | LL = − 0.35; UL = 0.09 |
