Pain judgments are the basis for pain management. The purpose of this study was to assess Black and White participants' race-related pain stereotypes. Undergraduates (=551) rated the pain sensitivity and willingness to report pain for the typical Black person, White person, and themselves. Participants, regardless of race, rated the typical White person as being more pain sensitive and more willing to report pain than the typical Black person. White participants rated themselves as less sensitive and less willing to report pain than same-race peers; however, Black participants rated themselves as more pain sensitive and more willing to report pain than same-race peers. These findings highlight similarities and differences in racial stereotypic pain beliefs held by Black and White individuals.
疼痛判断是疼痛管理的基础。本研究的目的是评估黑人和白人参与者与种族相关的疼痛刻板印象。551名本科生对典型黑人、白人以及他们自己的疼痛敏感度和报告疼痛的意愿进行了评分。无论种族如何，参与者都认为典型白人比典型黑人对疼痛更敏感，也更愿意报告疼痛。白人参与者认为自己比同种族同龄人对疼痛更不敏感，也更不愿意报告疼痛；然而，黑人参与者认为自己比同种族同龄人对疼痛更敏感，也更愿意报告疼痛。这些发现凸显了黑人和白人在种族刻板印象性疼痛观念上的异同。
