Cognitive Mediators of Treatment Outcomes in Pediatric Functional Abdominal Pain
The parent-report version of the PBQ is a 32-item measure designed to assess parents’ beliefs about various aspects of their children’s abdominal pain [72]. We focus here on the Primary Appraisal or perceived pain threat subscale. Twenty items assess the perceived duration, frequency and seriousness of the child’s abdominal pain condition, as well as the intensity and duration of individual pain episodes.

Participants included 200 children with a mean age of 11 years, 73% female, 89% Caucasian, and 4% Hispanic. Parents were on average 44 years old, 94% female, 93% Caucasian, 3% Hispanic, and 93% college-educated [consistent with other research 87]. The SLCBT and ES conditions did not differ significantly on any demographic characteristics as reported in the original publication [47]. Table 1 presents baseline characteristics of our key parent and child-reported variables.
Another possibility is that solicitous responses not captured by the ARCS (and thus not measured in the current study), such as changes in nonverbal communications of concern via body language or voice tone, may be important aspects of solicitousness that could mediate outcomes. It may also be the case that changing parent beliefs about the threat of the child’s pain and child catastrophizing have direct effects on parent perceptions of child well-being and children’s own perceptions of pain and disability in addition to any indirect effects through reductions in solicitousness. Finally, another possible explanation may be the frequency and timing of the assessment of the process and outcome measures. It is possible that changes in solicitousness may have mediated changes in outcomes earlier in the intervention, following the first or second intervention sessions, but as we do not have assessments of solicitousness during the intervention, we may have failed to capture its potential influence. A primary aim of this study was to determine whether cognitive process variables and parental solicitousness mediated change in parent and child reports of child pain and symptoms following a very brief social learning/cognitive behavior therapy intervention for children with functional abdominal pain.
Even if one side proposes an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism, the other side is likely to devalue the offer. Overige conflicten Tilburg ’s second piece of advice is don’t come into the job with a set mindset. He refers to Ken Cloke’s thinking, and explains that if you show up to the conflict with a set way of how you’re going to see conflict you’re not going to be effective. If you go in thinking you have the single right answer, you won’t see that that there are multiple right answers, and many different outcomes that could spread from it. To be effective, Jameson believes that a mediator must come in with a very open mind.
Jameson is hoping to identify several key factors of zero-sum thinking during his PhD. To uncover the necessary conditions and the sufficient combination of conditions for zero-sum thinking to occur, he’s chosen to analyze conflict dynamics contextualized by race in the United States. He notes that today a majority of white Americans see racial discrimination as a zero-sum game. They believe that as discrimination decreases for black Americans, it will go up for white Americans as if it’s a fixed, distributive resource. A third and striking conclusion is, that there is no central organisation and initiative in The Netherlands. VOM, conferencing, and other forms of RJ have a short history in the Netherlands and experiments are still being conducted by different organisations, spread over the country in various local projects.
