Abstract
One obvious component of pain assessment is the provider's perception of pain in another. Age, race, and sex have been identified as cues that may influence the assessment of others' pain. The current study explored the effects of age, race, and sex related expectations on the perception of pain. 105 healthy volunteers completed questionnaires that compared their own pain sensitivity and willingness to report pain to how they expected “typical” persons of a different age, race, and sex would respond.
