The effects of covert positive reinforcement, covert positive reinforcement plus positive expectancy, covert positive reinforcement plus negative expectancy, covert positive reinforcement of pain, attention placebo and no treatment on control of headache and finger pressure pain were examined. Self-report, behavioural and physiological measures were taken. Groups did not differ on any measures except for validity checks of the expectancy manipulation. The results provide little support for the efficacy of covert positive reinforcement in modifying pain. Additionally, the data failed to substantiate the theoretical basis of the procedure.
研究了隐蔽性正强化、隐蔽性正强化加积极预期、隐蔽性正强化加消极预期、疼痛的隐蔽性正强化、注意力安慰剂以及不治疗对头痛和手指压痛控制的影响。采用了自我报告、行为和生理测量方法。除了预期操纵的有效性检查外，各小组在任何测量指标上均无差异。研究结果几乎没有支持隐蔽性正强化在缓解疼痛方面的有效性。此外，数据未能证实该程序的理论基础。
