Observations of pain behavior have distinct advantages over self-report measures of pain. This is especially critical in a chronic lower back pain population where self-report of pain is unusually high. The goal of the current study was to investigate whether a streamlined behavior observation adapted from Keefe and Block¿s (1982) 10- minute observation is effective in identifying somatic amplification in a sample of Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) sufferers. We examined the relationship between a 4-minute behavior observation and the Somatic Amplification Rating Scale (SARS), a physiological exam measuring incongruent physical symptoms. Somatic amplification describes the tendency to report.
