The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about the experience of pain. Please respond to the following questions:
- Describe
several examples of how (and under what circumstances) pain might have
saved your life during early history (i.e. prehistoric times)? - Provide
an example of when the sensation and reaction to pain were not
equivalent. Provide an explanation for why this might be the case. - Provide
some examples of cultural factors affecting the experience of pain. For
example, if you have traveled or lived outside of the United States,
share experiences of individual differences of pain that you have
observed. Alternatively, draw on observations from television shows or
movies. - How and why might gender socialization contribute to the perception and self-report of pain?
Your submission should be 2-3 pages total in length (double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font, one-inch margins).
