• Pain catastrophizing and neural responses to pain among persons with fibromyalgia. (2004, background): “This latter activation is consistent with previous research suggesting that catastrophizing is associated with greater pain behaviour and increased emotional expression in response to pain (Sullivan et al., 2001).”
• The Relationship between Sensory Processing Difficulties and Anxiety Level of Healthy Adults (2011, background): “Pain catastrophising level is also known to be anxiety related (Sullivan et al 2001, Jerome and Liss 2005).”
• Catastrophic Thinking: A Transdiagnostic Process Across Psychiatric Disorders (2016, background): “A mounting body of evidence indicates that catastrophic beliefs are a key predictor of pain experience (Geisser et al. 2000; Sullivan et al. 2001).”
• The biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain: scientific advances and future directions. (2007, background): “There has been much debate about the specific nature of catastrophizing as a psychological construct (Sullivan et al., 2001; Turner & Aaron, 2001).”
• Coping or acceptance: what to do about chronic pain? (2003, background): “Admittedly there is an ongoing debate about the status of catastrophizing as a coping response (see the work of Sullivan et al., 2001 for a review of this issue).”
• Perceived Injustice and Adverse Recovery Outcomes (2014, background): “Pain catastrophizing has been broadly defined as an exaggerated negative mental set that comprises elements of rumination, magnification, and helplessness (Sullivan et al., 2001).”
• The child version of the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS‐C): a preliminary validation (2003, background): “Sullivan et al. (2001) have considered catastrophizing within an appraisal model (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984) that defines rumination and magnification as primary appraisal processes in which individuals exaggerate and focus on the threat value of pain sensations.”
• Handbook of Health Psychology (2001, background): “Indeed, pain catastrophizing, most often defined as an exaggerated negative mental set about actual or anticipated pain (Sullivan et al., 2001), is one of the most robust predictors of a range of poor pain-related outcomes.”
• The cerebral signature for pain perception and its modulation. (2007, background): “This construct incorporates magnification of pain-related symptoms, rumination about pain, feelings of helplessness, and pessimism about pain-related outcomes (Edwards et al., 2006), and it is defined as a set of negative emotional and cognitive processes (Sullivan et al., 2001).”
