Citations in the corpus

• Acceptance as a Coping Reaction: Adaptive or not? (2005, positive): “Acceptance seems to support the ability to cope with pain (McCracken, Spertus, Janeck, Sinclair, & Wetzel, 1999); moreover, acceptance has been found to be associated with less pain, less disability, less depression, less pain-related anxiety, and a better work status (McCracken & Eccleston, 2003).”
• The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research. (2011, background): “Detailed evaluation of the interaction of pain with mood, stress and anxiety, as well as parameters such as coping, disability and quality of life is beyond the scope of this review, but may be found elsewhere (Anton, 2009; Breivik et al., 2006; Campbell et al., 2003; Dersh et al., 2002; Hart et al.”
• Assessment of Mindfulness (2009, background): “For example, the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ; McCracken, 1998; McCracken & Eccleston, 2003; McCracken, Vowles & Eccleston, 2004) measures recognition that pain may not change, ability to refrain from fruitless efforts to avoid or control pain, and engaging in valued life activities”
• The biopsychosocial approach to chronic pain: scientific advances and future directions. (2007, background): “Indeed, a consistent relationship between pain acceptance and better adjustment has been found (e.g., McCracken & Eccleston, 2003; Viane et al., 2003), and preliminary evidence has been obtained for the efficacy of acceptance-based treatment for chronic pain patients (McCracken, Vowles, &…”
• Acceptance of chronic pain: component analysis and a revised assessment method (2004, background): “McCracken and Eccleston (2003), for example, recently reported on a sample of 200 patients awaiting interdisciplinary treatment.”
