Abstract
40 Ss were tested in tasks measuring pain tolerance and kinesthetic size judgment. The results demonstrated a significant relationship between the two types of performance: Ss low in pain tolerance tended to make larger errors in KSJ than Ss with higher pain tolerance. Among Ss with descending series, pain tolerance correlated negatively with degree of overestimation of the standard. The results are consonant with the hypothesis that attentional function is the relevant underlying mechanism.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
