This study examines individual differences in coping and associated health outcomes as they unfold across time. Twice daily for one week, 71 individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis reported their pain, coping efforts, and negative mood via structured daily records. The five factor model of personality (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness) and disease status were also assessed. Multi-level statistical models examining within and between person variability indicated significant temporal associations from coping to pain and bi-directional associations between mood and pain within days. Furthermore, findings suggest that coping use and coping effectiveness were moderated by personality. Implications for models of coping with chronic pain, as well as clinical applications, are discussed.

Using a daily process methodology, the current study examined the role of social support in coping and pain severity among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Seventy-three adults with RA completed a structured record twice daily for one week on pain severity, pain coping, satisfaction with support and disappointment in support. Findings suggested that support influenced pain indirectly, by encouraging the use of specific coping strategies, as well as impacting coping effectiveness. Satisfaction with support was associated with adaptive and maladaptive coping, while disappointment was associated with maladaptive coping. Findings highlight the importance of close others in promoting adaptive coping strategies.
