Pain catastrophizing and fear of movement have been identified as key predictors of prolonged work disability following whiplash injury. However, little is known about the processes by which pain catastrophizing and fear of movement impact on return to work. This study investigated the mediating role of expectancies on the relations between pain catastrophizing and return to work, and fear of movement and return to work following whiplash injury. The study sample consisted of 154 individuals with whiplash injury who were enrolled in a multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation program.
