We proposed a sequential model of pain processing with pain intensity as stage 1, pain unpleasantness as stage 2, pain-related emotions (depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, fear) as stage 3, and overt behavioral expression of pain as stage 4. We tested hypotheses about relationships between sex and the first 3 stages of pain processing by conducting simultaneous regression analysis using LISREL-8 with data collected from 967 women and 680 men with chronic pain. We found the following results: (1) women reported higher pain-related frustration and fear; (2) frustration related most highly to pain intensity among women, as compared with anxiety and depression among men; (3) depression and frustration related most highly to usual and highest pain unpleasantness among women, as compared with frustration among men; and (4) contrary to expectations, pain-related emotions were more strongly related to pain for men. Consistent with the sequential model of pain processing, emotional response to pain was more closely related to pain unpleasantness than to pain intensity across sex. Anxiety and frustration were the emotions most highly related to pain. The current results highlight sex differences in the experience of chronic pain and the importance of assessing a range of emotions in patients with pain.
