Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that pain self‐efficacy as measured with the PSEQ‐J accounted for a significant proportion of the variance on the measures administered in the present study. The PSEQ‐J was most strongly associated with social activity.</p> </sec> <sec id="pme12446-sec-0006" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusions</title> <p>The results demonstrated that the PSEQ‐J has adequate psychometric properties, supporting its use in clinical and research settings and suggest that the PSEQ‐J may be particularly strongly associated with more social and less physical activity.</p> </sec> </abstract>
