Abstract
The questionnaire study aimed to evaluate the relative contribution of body awareness, subjective symptoms, and anxiety to the construct of somatosensory amplification in both healthy controls ( n = 475) and patients visiting their general practitioner ( n = 236). Regression analysis explained 52.0 percent of total variance of the somatosensory amplification scale scores. Body awareness was the most influential predictor ( β = 0.489, p < 0.001) when considering all predictors simultaneously. The results suggest that dispositional interoceptive focus, as indicated by body awareness, may be an important aspect of somatosensory amplification, over and above dispositional anxiety or subjective symptom report.
