Note: Each row represents a unique analysis testing a single mediator. Bootstrap 95% confidence intervals that do not contain zero are significant at p<0.05 (in bold). MPQ = McGill Pain Questionnaire–Short Form (Past Month), BDI = Beck Depression Inventory, STAI = State Trait Anxiety Inventory, PANAS-PA = Positive Affect subscale of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, CATS = Pain Catastrophizing Scale
