Journal ArticleDOI

Fear-avoidance model of chronic pain: the next generation.

TL;DR: It is argued that the next generation of the FA model needs to more explicitly adopt a motivational perspective, one that is built around the organizing powers of goals and self-regulatory processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A confirmatory factor analysis of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale: invariant factor structure across clinical and non-clinical populations.

TL;DR: It was found that this model could be considered as invariant across three samples (pain‐free students, chronic low back pain patients, and fibromyalgia patients) and across gender, indicating that the same processes are measured in different subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI

A neurocognitive model of attention to pain: Behavioral and neuroimaging evidence

TL;DR: This poster presents a probabilistic procedure for estimating the intensity of the feelings of regret in the acutely ill person using a simple, straightforward, and reproducible procedure called a “naesophobia”.
Journal ArticleDOI

Components of attentional bias to threat in high trait anxiety: Facilitated engagement, impaired disengagement, and attentional avoidance.

TL;DR: Data indicate that HTA individuals more strongly engaged their attention with and showed impaired disengagement from highly threatening pictures than LTA individuals, and these data provide evidence for differential patterns of anxiety-related biases in attentive processing of threat at early versus later stages of information processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of neuroticism, pain catastrophizing and pain-related fear in vigilance to pain: a structural equations approach

TL;DR: The results strongly support the idea that vigilance to pain is dependent upon catastrophic thinking and pain‐related fear and that neuroticism moderated the relationship between pain severity and catastrophic thinking about pain.
