PR Release: Mental defeat: the hidden experience fuelling daily suffering in chronic pain
In this study, researchers used an innovative real-time sampling method to capture these fluctuations, analysing data from 137 adults living with chronic non-cancer pain. Participants reported their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours three times a day over two separate weeks.
Professor Nicole Tang, Department of Psychology, University of Warwick and first author, said: “Pain is not something that can simply be taken away, it is someone’s reality. But how people relate to their pain, and the meaning they attach to it, can add an extra layer of distress that we might be able target with the right interventions.”
Prof Robin Goodwin and Olena Orlova (Research Assistant) met with Lord David Hanson (Home Office Minister) at the Home Office to discuss settlement arrangement for disabled Ukrainian refugees.

Psychology Students empowers local pupils to become Mental Health Champions
Psychology students from the University of Warwick also participated, helping to lead activities and share insights into mental health awareness and the importance of looking out for others. The full-day interactive campus events, along with pre- and post-event sessions, featured workshops, group discussions, and activities designed to help pupils recognise and respond to mental health needs in themselves and others, and to explore how small, everyday actions can make a real difference to young people’s wellbeing.
