- Perceived future has been found to be a significant factor in chronic pain. In this explorative study, a new psychometric instrument, the Future scale was constructed to investigate how chronic pain patients perceive the future. By use of multidimensional scaling a two-dimensional conceptual space was constructed which showed how 107 patients clustered according to the main factors of the scale. Two dimensions were recognized: activity-passivity and preceived obstacles-coping, respectively. Further, the patients were compared to a sample from a normal population (N=104). Significant differences in perceived future related to age between these two groups were found.
