From: Psychometric properties of the pain stages of change questionnaire as evaluated by rasch analysis in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain

Subscales Pain during activity Emotional distress Self-efficacy
Precontemplation r = 0.29,p < 0.001* r = 0.34, p < 0.001* r = -0.25, p < 0.001*
(r = 0.32,p < 0.001) (r = 0.32, p < 0.001) (r = -0.27, p < 0.001)
Contemplation r = 0.04,p = 0.59 r = 0.18, p = 0.08 r = -0.05, p = 0.46
