A series of mediation analyses examined whether improvements in emotional processing explained the effect of treatment condition (EAET vs. CBT) on post-treatment pain severity. Compared to CBT, participants in EAET reported greater use of emotional expression coping (B = 0.26), greater emotional experiencing coping (B = 0.30), lower ambivalence over emotions total scores (B = 4.70, p < .05), and stronger beliefs that emotions influence pain (B = 0.63). These findings indicate that EAET promoted more adaptive emotional processing across multiple domains. Among the emotional processing variables, emotional experiencing coping was marginally associated with lower pain severity (B = −0.13, p < .10), whereas emotional expression coping showed a marginal positive association with pain (B = 0.12, p < .10). Neither ambivalence over emotions nor emotion-related pain beliefs significantly predicted pain when controlling for treatment. Examination of the indirect effects revealed that ambivalence over emotions significantly mediated the relationship between treatment and pain (indirect effect = 0.07, p < .05), indicating that EAET reduced pain in part by decreasing ambivalence toward emotions, reflecting improved emotional awareness and acceptance. The indirect effects through emotional expression coping (0.03), emotional experiencing coping (−0.04), and emotion-related pain beliefs (0.01) were not statistically significant. Taken together, these findings suggest that EAET led to greater improvements in emotional awareness compared to CBT, and that these improvements partially accounted for reductions in pain severity following treatment.

Research Question: Does the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) moderate treatment effects differently for White vs BIPOC participants? Key Findings from Output 3-way interaction NOT significant for any outcome (all p > .17) Main treatment effects: EAET shows greater improvement than CBT Race main effect: BIPOC participants show different patterns for depression WAI does not significantly moderate how treatment effects differ by race
