Objective:There is evidence of a relationship between mind and body about pain. The aim of this study was to study the structural relations among chronic pain, mindfulness and behavioral activation and inhibition systems.Method:The present research is descriptive-correlative, retrospective, and cross-sectional.In this research from 300 students, 166 students with chronic pain from the Payam-E-Noor University of Tehran were selected by voluntary and available sampling. McGill pain questionnaire, and five-facet mindfulness scale and behavioral activation and inhibition systems scale were used as research tools for data collection.Data were analyzed using correlation and structural equation. Results:The results showed that the hypothesized model fit is good and acceptable. Behavioral Activation System has a direct and negative effect on pain) β=0/38) and behavioral inhibition system direct and positive effect on pain) β=0/36). The Behavioral Activation System through the mediation of mindfulness has an indirect effect on pain and behavioral inhibition system through mindfulness has an indirect effect on pain.Conclusion: It can be concluded that behavioral activation and inhibition systems and mindfulness important determinants of pain.
