Table 4 Partial correlations for RST-PQ , ECQ personality traits, and Control minus Placebo for State-Anxiety difference scores (∆STAI-Y1), numerical pain and distress rating difference scores, repectively in the self-pain (S_NPDS, S_NUDS) and other-pain conditions (O_NPDS, O_NUDS). The effect of Gender was partial out.

From: The influence of EEG oscillations, heart rate variability changes, and personality on self-pain and empathy for pain under placebo analgesia
