Abstract

Objectives

Pain causal attribution is the attribution of pain causes to self or others, which may depend on one's choice of actions. The study aimed to examine how the cognitive processes of pain causal attribution as one aspect of the sense of agency change in healthy individuals based on free or forced choice, using a temporal binding (TB) experimental task.

Methods

Participants pressed keys (action) in a combined TB task, with one key having a high probability of delivering pain (with tone). In fact, only the bias between the free-choice and the forced choice conditions was manipulated. Participants estimated the time between their action and tone, with shorter intervals indicating internal attribution.

Results

Interval estimation was significantly longer in the forced-choice condition than in the free-choice condition when a pain stimulus was delivered.

Conclusions

Explicit complaints of pain being caused by others may be represented in implicit cognitive processes.

我不是造成这种痛苦的原因：对不可预知情况下因果关系归因过程的实验研究：是否会出现负面结果

目的疼痛因果归因是指将疼痛原因归因于自己或他人，这可能取决于个人对行动的选择。本研究旨在通过一项时间绑定（TB）实验任务，研究作为代理感的一个方面，疼痛因果归因的认知过程在自由选择或强迫选择的基础上如何在健康人身上发生变化。事实上，只有自由选择和强迫选择条件之间的偏差受到了操纵。结果当疼痛刺激出现时，强迫选择条件下的时间间隔估计明显长于自由选择条件下的时间间隔估计。
