Impaired physical functioning is one of the most critical consequences associated with fibromyalgia, especially when there is comorbid obesity. Psychological factors are known to contribute
to perceived (i.e., subjective) physical functioning. However, physical function is a multidimensional
concept encompassing both subjective and objective functioning. The contribution of psychological
factors to performance-based (i.e., objective) functioning is unclear. This study aims to investigate
the contribution of pain catastrophizing and pain acceptance to both self-reported and performancebased physical functioning. In this cross-sectional study, 160 participants completed self-report
measures of pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance, and pain severity. A self-report measure and a
performance-based test were used to assess physical functioning. Higher pain catastrophizing and
lower pain acceptance were associated with poorer physical functioning at both self-reported and
performance-based levels. Our results are consistent with previous evidence on the association between pain catastrophizing and pain acceptance with self-reported physical functioning. This study
contributes to the current literature by providing novel insights into the role of psychological factors
in performance-based physical functioning. Multidisciplinary interventions that address pain catastrophizing and pain acceptance are recommended and might be effective to improve both perceived
and performance-based functioning in women with FM and obesity. [-]
