 Ho 8: Coping styles will not account for differences on the McGill

 Pain Questionnaire.


 In testing this hypothesis I used a one-way analysis of variance of

 the Millon coping styles on the scales of the McGill Pain Questionnaire.

 The results for the gastric bypass group showed significant differences

 in the inhibited group (p < .05) and the PPI and the sensitive group (p

 < .01) on the PPI. In the hand surgical group significant differences

 occurred in the inhibited group in the PRIE scale (p < .05) and the PPI

 scale (p < .01), the forceful group on the PPI scale (p < .01), the

 forceful group on the PRIT (p < .05), the PRIS (p < .05), the PRIM (p <

 .05) scales, and the sensitive group on the PRIE (p < .05). In the hand

 rehab. group significant results were found with intraversive coping

 style on the PRIM scale (p < .05), respectful style on the PPI scale (p

 < .05), and sensitive style on the NWCS scale (p < .05). Therefore, the

 null hypothesis that coping styles will not account for differences on

 the McGill Pain Questionnaire is rejected. Results of the ANOVAs can be

 found in Tables 4-60, 4-61, and 4-62.


 Summary

 In an analysis of the scales of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and

the Millon Behavioral Health Inventory on the McGill Pain Questionnaire

I tested eight hypotheses to determine if the personality scales were

related to pain response and if differences existed between the

personality variables on various scales of the MPQ.
