The proposed research is designed to examine cognitive and affective mechanisms linked to pain perception and vulnerability in children, and to evaluate components of a biopsychosocial model of pediatric recurrent abdominal pain (RAP). Specifically, children with RAP and healthy children will be tested on a measure of attentional focus the dot probe detection task, for automatic cognitive biases to stimuli thematically related to pain and anxiety. Associations between attentional biases and self-report measures of pain (including intensity, frequency, and duration), somatic and pain attention, fear of pain, anxiety, and coping will be investigated. By improving upon the current understanding of the relationship between RAP, attention, and related psychological constructs, the proposed study is intended to contribute to applied and basic research in understanding cognitive and affective factors related to chronic pain.

拟议的研究旨在检查与儿童疼痛感知和脆弱性有关的认知和情感机制，并评估小儿复发性腹痛（RAP）的生物心理社会模型的组成部分。 具体而言，患有RAP和健康儿童的儿童将接受注意点探测任务的量度测试，即自动认知偏见与刺激与疼痛和焦虑有关的刺激。 注意力偏见与自我报告的疼痛度量（包括强度，频率和持续时间），体细胞和疼痛注意力，对疼痛，焦虑和应对的恐惧之间的关联。 通过提高对说唱，注意力和相关心理结构之间关系的当前理解，拟议的研究旨在为理解与慢性疼痛有关的认知和情感因素的应用和基础研究做出贡献。
