Answer to Question 2

1) Ignoring pain can help a person lead a more active, satisfying life.

I won't let it bother me are often associated with lower levels of self-reported pain severity. 4) Catastrophizing, use of excessive or exaggerated negative self-statements, such as My condition is going to get progressively worse is negatively correlated with adjustment to pain.
