Black and White undergraduates (N=132; 48.5% Black) completed the Race/Ethnicity Expectations of Pain Questionnaire and a cold pressor task. First, we examined participants’ beliefs related to race differences in pain using a paired samples t-test to understand the perceived pain sensitivity of the comparison groups. Then, we examined how participants’ self-other comparison ratings for pain moderated the relationship between race and actual pain tolerance using a robust multiple-group moderation analysis. Results indicated participants rated the “typical” Black person as less pain sensitive than the “typical” White person (t(131)=-6.83, p |
