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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Creation of a Virtual Interface for Stress-Trauma Investigations through Open World Navigation: An Exploration of Tolerability and Physiological Reactions
… pain modulation (CPM) in reaction to the cold pressor task and measured associations with indices of sympathetic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function. It was found that only 30% of participants experienced inhibitory CPM. Within this group, there was a positive moderate correlation …

The gun-wielding bias embodiment effect under stress
… is flexible, or unchanging, I utilized the Cold Pressor Task to induce stress into a paradigm published by Witt and Brockmole (2012). Results indicated that there was no difference between stress and non-stress conditions. However, my control condition (non-stress) failed to replicate the …

Pain and Principle: The Effects of Nociceptive Stimuli on Moral Decision Making
As both a Working Memory (WM) task and as a more integrated reasoning process, moral decision making appears susceptible to interference by nociceptive stimuli. Differentiation, however, between conflicting occupation of WM resources and the influence of pain-induced autonomic activation as …

Neurophysiological Differences in Pain Reactivity: Why Some People are Tolerant to Pain
… Pain tolerance was first determined using a cold pressor task. Sensory gating was then determined by the amount of attenuation of the amplitude of a second painful, electrical, somatosensory stimulus (S2) in relation to the amplitude of an identical first stimulus (S1) in a paired-stimulus …

Differentiation between the Effects of Physical and Psychosocial Stress on a Feedback-based Learning Task
… were assigned into the mental arithmetic (MA) task or the cold pressor task (CPT) group. All subjects performed a feedback-based learning task prior to and after the stressor. Cardiovascular reactions, stress experiences, and learning outcomes were recorded during tasks. Trait differences in …

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 …

Psychological Predictors of Pain and Pain-related Outcomes in Athletes
… pain experience of undergraduate students in a cold-pressor task (Study 1), or delayed onset muscle soreness pain in athletes (Study 2). It was concluded that the observed findings may be due to the intensity and meaningfulness of the pain, leading to recommendations of continuing the research …

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, …

Controllability and its effect on psychological functioning
… subsequent physical distress assessed by a cold pressor task. In Study 5, participants who did not previously have control subsequently reported a greater increase in anxiety following a secondary cognitively distressing task. However, this did not translate to a higher tendency to terminate …

Cardiovascular reactivity in men as a function of masculine gender role stress, Type-A behavior, and hostility
… All subjects were exposed to both stressors, a Cold Pressor Task (CPT) and a structured Masculine Threat Interview (MTI) in counter-balanced order. Subjects were divided into equal groups representing lower, middle, and upper thirds of MGRS. Results indicated that MGRS scores were significantly …

The influence of a single session of aerobic exercise on blood pressure during daily activities
… those subjects with a greater reactivity to the cold pressor task would show a larger reduction than all subjects in mean BP. A secondary hypothesis was that there would be an attenuation of cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) following exercise. Fifteen college aged students enrolled in health …

Observational learning and pain-related fear
… changes do occur. When using a differential cold pressor task (CPT), pain-related fear persisted until the end of the experiment, whereas no differences between CS+ and CS- were found after direct exposure to coloured warm water tasks or cold metal bars. No unequivocal pattern was found …

Experimental Analyses of Rule-Following: Methodological and Clinical Implications
… adaptation in a simple automated match-to-sample task based on previous research (McAuliffe, 2004). In Experiment 1 (n=16), three Pliance conditions (with differing levels of Experimenter involvement) were compared to a Tracking condition. In simple terms, the two types of condition were …
