| Abstract |
Investigations have shown that expectancies are significant prognostic indicators of recovery outcomes following whiplash injury. However, little is currently known about the determinants of recovery expectancies following whiplash injury. The purpose of the present study was to examine the cross-sectional and prospective correlates of recovery expectancies in individuals admitted to a rehabilitation program for whiplash injury. Participants (N=96) completed measures of recovery expectancies, psychosocial variables, symptom severity, symptom duration and disability at Time 0 (admission) and Time 1 (discharge). Consistent with previous research, more positive recovery expectancies at Time 0 were related to reductions in pain at Time 1, r=-0.33, P<0.01. Scores on measures of pain catastrophizing, fear of movement and re-injury, and depression were significantly correlated with recovery expectancies. Pain severity, duration of work disability, and neck range of motion were not significantly correlated with recovery expectancies. Over the course of treatment, 40% of the sample showed moderate to large changes (an increase of 20% or more) in recovery expectancies, there were small changes (less than 20%) in 30% of the sample, and negative changes in 20% of the sample. A hierarchical regression showed that decreases in fear of movement and re-injury (β=-0.25, P<0.05) and pain catastrophizing (β=-0.23, P<0.05) were associated with increases in recovery expectancies through the course of treatment. The Discussion addresses the processes linking pain-related psychosocial factors to recovery expectancies and makes recommendations for interventions that might be effective in increasing recovery expectancies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 March 2018.
All research outputs
#8,188,597
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Clinical journal of pain
#908
of 2,022 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#133,233
of 343,807 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical journal of pain
#15
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,022 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,807 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
