Swearing produces a pain lessening (hypoalgesic) effect for many people; an emotional response may be the underlying mechanism. In this paper, the role of manipulated state aggression on pain tolerance and pain perception is assessed. In a repeated-measures design, pain outcomes were assessed in participants asked to play for 10 minutes a first-person shooter video game vs a golf video game. Sex differences were explored. After playing the first-person shooter video game, aggressive cognitions, aggressive affect, heart rate, and cold pressor latency were increased, and pain perception was decreased. These data indicate that people become more pain tolerant with raised state aggression and support our theory that raised pain tolerance from swearing occurs via an emotional response.
咒骂对许多人会产生减轻疼痛（痛觉减退）的效果；一种情绪反应可能是其潜在机制。在本文中，评估了被操纵的状态攻击性对疼痛耐受性和疼痛感知的作用。在一项重复测量设计中，对被要求玩10分钟第一人称射击类电子游戏和高尔夫电子游戏的参与者的疼痛结果进行了评估。探讨了性别差异。在玩第一人称射击类电子游戏后，攻击性认知、攻击性情绪、心率和冷加压潜伏期增加，而疼痛感知降低。这些数据表明，随着状态攻击性的增强，人们对疼痛的耐受性会更高，这支持了我们的理论，即咒骂导致疼痛耐受性提高是通过情绪反应实现的。
