Acceptance of pain appears as an important factor in pain research and in practice. Different measurement instruments were developed, among which the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ; McCracken, Vowles &. Eccleston, 2004). In this study possible psychometric problems with the Dutch version of the CPAQ are investigated. Different models of the CPAQ, among which the general two-factor model (subscales Activity Engagement and Pain Willingness), were tested in confirmatory factor analysis (N = 584). None of the models met the established fit criteria for adequate fit. It is concluded that the factor structure of the Dutch version of the CPAQ can not be confirmed; the scale as such should be rejected as a useful measurement instrument. Alternative questionnaires to measure acceptance of pain (ICQ, PaSol, PIPS) are suggested.
