The study examined psychological and emotional traits related to pain perception in 56 women, comparing 27 with endometriosis-related pain and 29 women without gynecologic pathology using measures including the McGill Pain Questionnaire, a visual analog scale for pain, the Gissen quality-of-life satisfaction assessment, the Gießen personality inventory, interpersonal relationship diagnostics, and the HADS anxiety/depression scale. Women with pain forms of endometriosis reported lower satisfaction with health-related, emotional, and physical comfort, and showed a feminine gender-role behavior profile and a responsible-benevolent interpersonal style, with pain perception associated with their interpersonal behavior style. The authors conclude that psychological features affect subjective pain perception and quality of life and may worsen emotional state, while a key limitation is that the abstract does not specify effect sizes or control for potential confounders beyond group comparison. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—focusing on emotional and personality traits that shape pain perception in women with endometriosis-related pain.
