Research among adult and pediatric samples suggests that pain-related injustice appraisals contribute to adverse pain-related functioning. However, a singular focus on pain-related injustice appraisals carries the risk of underestimating the role of broader concepts of justice. This study examined the unique roles of child pain-related injustice appraisals and just-world beliefs in understanding disability and physical, emotional, social, and academic functioning, as well as the mediating role of injustice appraisals in the relationship between just-world beliefs and functioning.
