Pain problems tend to run in families and children of individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) have been found to report lower functioning. Drawing upon a social learning perspective, the current study examined how diverse maternal pain coping responses (i.e., pain catastrophizing and distraction) may, via corresponding child pain coping responses, act as a vulnerability or protective factor for child functioning in the context of parental chronic pain (CP).
