Abstract

Evidence suggests that stoic attitudes may be related to the experience of pain. The present study examined the relationship between pain-related stoicism and experimental pain sensitivity in 25 healthy, pain-free men and women. Pain sensitivity was assessed over two testing sessions from electrocutaneous pain threshold/tolerance, heat pain threshold/tolerance, ischemic pain threshold/tolerance, cold pain threshold/tolerance, and nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) threshold (a physiological measure of spinal nociception).
