Experiencing validation from others is associated with less negative emotions and better functioning. Contrarily, experiencing criticism is linked to greater pain intensity and worse functioning. Nonetheless, studies are limited by an exclusive focus on spouses rather than significant other relationships, the use of proxy constructs (e.g. social support, responsiveness, solicitousness) rather than specific measures of validation and criticism and a focus on significant others\u2032 behaviour rather than patients\u2032 subjective experience. This study examines the psychometric properties of a new measure \u2013 Perceived Validation and Criticism in Pain Questionnaire (PVCPQ), and tests its contribution to functional impairment beyond pain intensity, sociodemographic and medical\u2010related variables, positive and negative affect, safeness and compassion from others.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Women with CP (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0172), 130 (75.6%) of whom had fibromyalgia, completed an online battery of questionnaires (PVCPQ; numeric pain rating scale; work and social adjustment scale; positive and negative affect schedule; social and pleasure scale; compassionate engagement and action scale).

It adds to the literature by suggesting that perceived criticism (but not validation) contributes to functional impairment beyond sociodemographic variables, pain intensity, affect and related constructs such as social safeness and compassion from others. These results suggest that psychosocial interventions that aim to promote functioning in chronic pain should focus on the subjective experience of being criticized and validated by significant others.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejp.1655","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,31]],"date-time":"2020-08-31T10:07:17Z","timestamp":1598868437000},"page":"136-148","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Perceived validation and criticism in pain: Development of a new measure in chronic pain"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"S\u00e9rgio","family":"Andrade Carvalho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research in Neuropsychology and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CINEICC) Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences University of Coimbra Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Pinto\u2010Gouveia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research in Neuropsychology and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CINEICC) Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences University of Coimbra Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Gillanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health in Social Sciences University of Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Castilho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Research in Neuropsychology and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CINEICC) Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences University of Coimbra Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejpain.2011.06.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2013.07.053"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001037"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e31816753d8"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001045"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2009.10.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12144-019-00489-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0191-8869(03)00206-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","volume-title":"Applied multiple regression\/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences","author":"Cohen J.","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.718"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/S15324796ABM2303_9"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sjpain.2014.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.j.pain.0000460301.18207.c2"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1091-7527.25.2.204"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2011.07.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","volume-title":"Discovering statistics using IBM SPSS statistics","author":"Field A.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3236261"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_19_1","first-page":"168","volume-title":"Mindfulness and acceptance: Expanding the cognitive\u2010behavioral tradition","author":"Fruzzetti A.
