Answer to Question 2

Although the basis of pain is biological, there are many psychology factors that influence the experience of pain. Distraction refers to efforts to direct attention away from pain. Focusing one's attention on something can reduce the experience of pain. It is also possible to overwhelm the gate that controls the flow of painful stimuli to
the pain. Rubbing a sore area or simultaneously applying cold and hot may also reduce the experience of pain. Cognitive processes also influence the experience of pain. Pessimistic and catastrophic thoughts contribute to heightened pain experiences. Increasing one's knowledge about the source of pain and treatment options can also reduce the aversive effects of pain. Finally, meditation, biofeedback, and hypnosis
may also provide some relief from pain.
