The examination of “instabilities” in affective experiences15 opens up a new window into the emotional experiences of those in chronic pain. Such variability in affective states has been studied before, but not with the same level of rigor, and rarely with patients with moderate to large daily fluctuations in their pain experience. Usually we think of affects in terms of magnitude, and we typically focus on negative emotional states. We also are often examining these states by means of retrospective accounts of weeks or months, introducing biases that are unlikely to be random ones. 2, 10 People who remember experiencing abuse during their childhoods and those who have a propensity to report depression and anxiety are different from those who are less inclined to recall and report those negative experiences. 3, 14, 16, 21 By using daily accounts, such biases are reduced. Furthermore, the inclusion of daily accounts of positive emotional states provides a richer accounting of the person’s immediate affective experiences.That instability, independent of the magnitude of negative feelings, would moderate the effects of pain on disability and cognitions about pain provides us with an opportunity to examine premises about the role of emotional states in successful adaptation to pain. The authors15 invite us to look further into the quality of those experiences, and in particular, the uncertainty they may engender, as factors influencing adaptation. It is perhaps not surprising that positive emotion instability was less influential, but, given the recent work by Ong et al. 12, 13 on positive affect variability, we believe that more work is needed, closer in time to the actual pain experience, perhaps within minutes or hours rather than across days, to address that question. Indeed, a different within-subjects examination might be able to detect not just between-person differences in affective stabilities, but also how shifts in affective predictability from one occasion to the next might identify particularly vulnerable times in the lives of patients with pain. In that case, we would be identifying times when people are less resilient to pain, rather than identifying people who are less resilient because of the instabilities in their affect regulation capacities. Furthermore, there may be other salient roles for day-to-day changes in positive affect that are not captured in the current analysis. 5 For example, individuals facing
