The Effects of Thwarted Interpersonal Needs on Perceived Sense of No Meaning and Purpose About Life and Physical Pain Tolerance
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of thwarted interpersonal needs - perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness -on psychological and physical responses. Therefore, we developed a paradigm to induce perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, and tested its validity. We postulated current perceived sense of no meaning and purpose about life as a psychological dimension and pain tolerance as a physical dimension. Data was collected from 71 male and female undergraduate students who did not meet exclusion criteria. Current perceived sense of no meaning and purpose about life and pain tolerance were assessed by inducing immediate frustration with a goal of creating perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. The results indicate that the manipulation to induce thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness had validity. The present study shows that the group with perceived burdensomeness had significantly more of an increase in their current perceived sense of no meaning about life and significantly more of a decrease in sense of purpose about life. An effect of interaction was found between perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness on physical pain tolerance. The limitations and implications of this study were discussed considering the many self-defeating behaviors that individual's experiencing thwarted interpersonal needs deal with.
