| Abstract;The purposes of this study were to develop and validate Japanese version of Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Pain catastrophizing is defined as a negative orientation towards pain involving rumination, helplessness, and magnification. Four-hundred and forty-nine undergraduates completed the questionnaires including PCS, scale of pain severity, the interference sub-scale of Brief Pain Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the catastrophizing sub-scale of Coping Strategy Questionnaire (CSQ). Exploratory factor analysis revealed that PCS has three components comprising rumination, helplessness, and magnification. Internal consistency of PCS was sufficiently high. Correlation analysis showed that the total score of PCS was associated with the score of pain severity and interference and that the helplessness sub-scale of PCS had a higher correlation with catastrophizing the scale of CSQ than other two sub-scales of PCS. The results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that total the score of PCS was the predictor of pain severity and interference even though STAI and SDS scores were controlled.
