Psychology of Pain: Understanding the Determinants of Pain Experience
- 演講簡介
Pain is a subjective experience influenced by various factors that extend beyond biological aspects. In this lecture, I will present the contemporary understanding of pain experience and discuss several factors that influence it. Specifically, I will focus on the research conducted by my Pain Research Group, although not exclusively. Firstly, I will explore the role of psychological traits and states, such as time perspective, and share findings on how colors can affect pain perception. Moving on, I will delve into the impact of learning processes on pain induction and modulation, including classical conditioning, observational learning, and operant conditioning. The main part of my talk will revolve around placebo effects in pain perception. This will encompass the results of studies on the effectiveness of placebos and their utilization in clinical practice. Most importantly, I will present research findings on the learning mechanisms of placebo effects, involving verbal instruction, classical conditioning, observational learning, and operant conditioning. Furthermore, I will discuss studies on pain memory and its determinants. Finally, I will share our discoveries regarding the use of psychotherapy in chronic pain management. I hope that my lecture will illustrate the diverse and multidimensional nature of pain, shedding light on the crucial role of psychological factors in shaping the pain experience.
