标题:CHRONIC PAIN SELF-EFFICACY AS A MEDIATOR OF THE LINK BETWEEN ROMANTIC ATTACHMENT INSECURITY, INDIVIDUAL FUNCTIONING, AND COUPLE SATISFACTION: A PRELIMINARY STUDYS
摘要:This preliminary study was inspired by the Attachment-Diathesis Model of Chronic Pain (ADMoCP) and examined pain self-efficacy as a mediator of the relation between people’s insecure romantic attachment and individual functioning, as well couple satisfaction. This study used a sample of 45 adults with chronic pain from the community who have been in couple relationships for at least 6 months. Participants completed self-report measures. Direct links were obtained between 1) insecure romantic attachment (anxiety over abandonment) and pain self-efficacy, 2) pain self-efficacy and individual functioning, 3) insecure romantic attachment and low individual functioning, and 4) insecure romantic attachment and lower couple satisfaction. Results also showed that pain self-efficacy significantly mediates the relation between anxiety over abandonment and individual functioning, thus adding to existing literature as well as providing more support for the ADMoCP . Future research directions are discussed along with clinical implications.
