Rosenbaum’s experiments relating resourcefulness to coping with pain. The authors then discussed the factors
of the model leading to self-control, such as factors related to process-regulating cognitions (e.g., supporting
family and friends), coping strategies (e.g., ability to cope with pain such as diverting attention and
reinterpreting pain), and staying in (or dropping out of) programs. The authors at this point might have
drawn a diagram of the theory to be explicit about factors that influenced self-control. They provided next,
however, a series of questions drawn from Rosenbaum’s model and the literature that guided their study
examining the impact of a cognitive-behavioral chronic pain management program on self-management and
how resourcefulness and a sense of self-directedness influence self-management skills for chronic pain.
Toward the end of the article, they revisited the factors leading to self-management and proposed a diagram
of the most salient factors.
