| Abstrakt: | Socio-economic class affects a variety of health outcomes -- this includes the experience of pain. Little work, however, explores how class affects pain experiences of college student-athletes. This gap is notable given injuries frequently occur in this population. We argue that lower class student-athletes will ironically be more likely to experience pain but less likely to report it. We find evidence for this claim with a large survey of student-athletes from a major National College Athletic Association conference. We further present evidence that class may influence pain reporting via identity, experiential, and social pathways. Our results highlight how potentially vulnerable student-athletes may "play with pain." The findings also suggest that practitioners should pay particular attention to self-reports of pain by lower class student-athletes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
