Abstract

This chapter reviews the social psychology of personal pain, how it occurs, and the payback that it generates. It notes that pain-passing is not limited to now-outlawed “codes of honor,” family dysfunction, or social pathology and the “criminal underclass.” In fact, it is institutionalized in many apparently respectable forms, such as hazing in fraternities, boot camp, and medical internships, as well as the British “public school” system.
