Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of motivation for a cold pressor task on the pain responses (tolerance, intensity, unpleasantness) in the state of ego depletion. This study was carried out employing 78 healthy female students attending the university in Daejeon, Republic of Korea. The results revealed a significant interaction between ego depletion and motivation for pain tolerance. Specifically, under conditions of high ego depletion, pain tolerance was significantly higher in the highly-motivated group than in the low-motivated group. The difference in pain tolerance was not significant regardless of the motivation group in the low ego depletion condition. The main effect of motivation on pain intensity was significant, indicating that the highly-motivated group reported a greater intensity of pain than the low-motivated group. On the other hand, the main effects of ego depletion and the interaction between ego depletion and motivation were not significant. For pain unpleasantness, the main effects of ego depletion and motivation and the interaction between ego depletion and motivation were not significant. These results suggest that the motivational context may play an important role in pain responses.
