| Summary: | adaptive model of injury related behavior. became hypoalgesic to unpredictable shocks, but women current models of pain defensive (active vs. passive) reactions which result different measures of pain reactivity, reducing effects using parallel methodology. Experiment 1 elects observed in pain reactivity reflect different examined the elects of an unpredictable shock and the Experiment 2 examined the effects of the same from divergent emotions (fear and anxiety), rather genders. These results suggest that the divergent inducing stimulus. Experiment 1 revealed that shock investigated whether humans exhibit similar divergent measured using a gradually incremented shock (putative modulation. These studies have shown that exposure to reactivity (hypoalgesia) on spinally mediated tests Recent animal studies pose a serious challenge for raphics. resulted in hyperkinesia. Experiment 2 found that men resulted in hypoalgesia, while threat of shock Results are interpreted using Walters' (1994) general similar to Experiment 1, with the exception that supraspinal mediation). Experiment 3 used a procedure supraspinally mediated tests. The present experiments than a supraspinal vs spinal mediation difference. the same aversive stimulus has opposite effects on threat of an unpredictable shock on pain thresholds unpredictable noise bursts were used as the stress- unpredictable shock and its threat on pain thresholds using a radiant heat test (putative spinal mediation). were hyperalgesic following noises. The effects of were hyperalgesic. Experiment 3 indicated that men while increasing reactivity (hyperalgesia) on |
