Abstract
Tolerance for pain resulting from a controlled electric shock to the forearm was studied in relation to body image and anxiety. A significant positive correlation was found between pain tolerance and definiteness of body boundaries. A significant negative correlation was found between Holtzman's modification of the Elizur Rorschach Content Scale and pain tolerance. However, pain tolerance was not correlated with a more focused measure of body anxiety.
