Cold pressor pain and psychophysiological activation in high and low pain catastrophizers
… depression and anxiety before participating in a cold pressor task. Participants’ heart rate (HR) and galvanic skin response (GSR) were recorded during periods of baseline (3 minutes), pain induction (1 minute), and pain recovery (10 minutes). The Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) was …

The effectiveness of a hope intervention in coping with cold pressor pain
… experimental pain induction method, namely the cold pressor task, and a college-aged sample. A two (Condition: Hope Intervention vs. Control) x two (Gender: Male vs. Female) factorial design was used to evaluate this multi-component intervention, involving a guided imagery segment, dialogue, …

The effect of an aerobic training program on cardiovascular reactivity to the cold pressor test
… diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reactivity to the cold pressor test ≥ 5 mm Hg were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group was asked to participate in an aerobic exercise session 4 d/wk for 8 weeks, consisting of walking/jogging for 30 minutes at …

Acoustic Startle Response in High and Low Hostiles Before And After A Cold Pressor Task
… to a series of startle probes before and after a cold pressor (CP). Startle responses were measured using electromyography (EMG) recorded over the orbicularis occuli. Cardiovascular measures of blood pressure and heart rate were also taken. A 2 X 2 mixed factorial ANOVA was performed with Group …

Cardiovascular Reactivity to Speech Processing and Cold Pressor Stress: Evidence for Sex Differences in Dynamic Functional Cerebral Laterality
… dichotic listening in response to a stressor (a cold pressor). 120 right-handed undergraduate men (N = 60) and women (N = 60) underwent physiological measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) before and after exposure to the cold pressor …

Repressors vs. Low- and High-Anxious Coping Styles: EEG, Heart Rate, and Blood Pressure Differences During Cognitive and Cold Pressor Pain Stressors
Repressors, defined as individuals possessing an increased cortical sensitivity to anxiety-provoking stimuli combined with the tendency to avoid such stimuli, may be differentiated from low- and high-anxious individuals. This study investigated behavioral performance, electrophysiological …

Neuropsychological Effects of Hostility and Pain on Emotion Perception
… auditory emotion perception before and after cold pressor pain in high and low hostile men. Additionally, quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) was used to measure changes in cerebral activation as a result of auditory emotion perception and cold pressor pain. Results indicated that …

Hostility and Negative Emotion: Implications for Verbal Learning and Cardiovascular Regulation
… on cognition, the present investigation used a cold pressor to induce a negative emotional/pain state in high and low hostile participants and measured. The subsequent effects on the acquisition of the Auditory Affective Verbal Learning Test (AAVLT; Snyder & Harrison, 1997) were measured. Blood …

Frontal Lobe Correlates in Hostile Men: Analysis of Facial Motor Tone and Cardiovascular Regulation
… in response to a physical stressor (the cold-pressor task). Additionally, based on the integration of multiple lines of research, it was proposed that individuals with high levels of self-reported hostility would show asymmetric facial tone, with greater muscle activation at the …

The Dynamic Cerebral Laterality Effect: Group Differences in Hostility, Cardiovascular Regulation, and Sensory Recognition
… cerebral asymmetry in response to pain (cold pressor) and emotional linguistic processing was measured. Low- and high-hostile participants were identified using the Cook Medley Hostility Scale (CMHS). All participants completed either the negative affective verbal learning test …

Cerebral Regulation of Cardiovascular Functioning and Fluency among Anxious and Nonanxious Men
… or without the threat of a painful stimulus (cold pressor) to high anxious and nonanxious participants. Thus, the cerebrums are hypothesized to be engaged in a dual-task experience requiring the regulation of the ANS and concurrent performance on the verbal or the nonverbal fluency measure. …

Analysis of Quantitative Electroencephalographic and Cardiovascular Responses to Stress Amoung Low- and High-Hostiles
… (CMHS). All participants (N = 30) completed the cold pressor paradigm. Cardiovascular (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure) and electroencephalographic (beta magnitude) data were collected before and after the stressor. As predicted, high-hostiles showed greater …

The effects of catastrophizing and labeling on pain tolerance, sensation, and affect
… condition. All participants then took part in a cold-pressor test. The cold-pressor measure of pain tolerance, as well as visual analog scales of sensory and affective ratings of pain, provided the dependent measures. Participants also completed the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) and the Somatic …

Neuropsychological and psychophysiological correlates of anger expression styles
… task, a figural fluency task and exposure to a cold pressor. Significant group by trial interaction effects were found for mean number of perseverative errors on neuropsychological measures (F(1,54) = 10.89, p < 0.05), systolic blood pressure following administration of a verbal fluency …

Migraines and Mindfulness Meditation: Does Engaging Spirituality Make A Difference?
… significantly by condition: stressfulness of the cold-pressor task and state mindfulness. Both mindfulness groups experienced the cold pressor task as significantly less stressful relative to the simple relaxation group. RM and SM groups were not found to be significantly different from each other …

Financial Decision Making Under Stress
… to elicit participants risk preferences. The Cold Pressor Test was used to induce a safe level of stress. In the treatment group, 62% of participants are risk averse; versus 76% in the control group. Additionally, inconsistent financial decision making was observed in both groups: 55% of …

Do beliefs about race differences in pain contribute to actual race differences in experimental pain response?
… group influence their own pain tolerance on a cold pressor task. Explicit beliefs about race and pain sensitivity have also been identified but have yet to be linked to actual pain tolerance. Implicit beliefs about race are well documented; however, little is known about the extent to which …

Dynamic Effects of Stress and Hostility: Group Differences in Cardiovascular Regulation and Learning
… cerebral asymmetry in response to pain (cold pressor stressor) and affective verbal learning (positive and negative valenced word lists) were measured. High- and low-hostile participants (n = 64) were identified using the Cook Medley Hostility Scale. Participants completed either the …

Does Empathy Promote Emotion Regulation In The Context Of Pain? An Experimental Investigation
… regulation and greater pain tolerance during a cold pressor task. Based on empathy and intimacy theories, it was expected that observers who were instructed to take the perspective of their partner would feel and express more empathy, and that their partners would have better pain and pain …
