Psychodynamically, chronic pain problems with no organic cause have been conceptualized as a punishment through physical pain for guilt feelings. This study aimed to investigate the effects of conscious guilt feelings on nocebo pain responses and whether the resultant nocebo pain would affect conscious guilt feelings in the form of expiation through the pain. An experiment was conducted with 100 participants. There were two independent variables, which were guilt induction (guilt-no guilt) and nocebo manipulation (nocebo-no nocebo). Nocebo manipulation was done by telling the participants that they would receive electricity from an EEG cap. In addition, they watched a video in which a confederate imitates having pain during the procedure. There were two dependent variables, guilt feelings, and experienced pain. Guilt feelings were measured using Positive and Negative Affect Scale twice, once after guilt induction and once after nocebo pain manipulation. Subjective pain scores were measured by using a basic 0 to 10 visual pain scale, on which the participants reported how much pain they experienced. The findings revealed that only the main effect of nocebo was significant. The participants reported mild headaches in the absence of any physical stimulation after nocebo manipulations. The effect was observed in a standard laboratory environment. Non-physical nocebo pain induction could create pain, but conscious guilt induction did not increase the amount of reported nocebo pain, and resultant pain did not function as a punishment. Limitations and implications of the study were discussed.

Expiation through psychogenic pain Türkarslan, Kutlu Kağan; Canel Çınarbaş, Deniz; Department of Psychology (2017) Psychodynamically, chronic pain problems with no organic cause have been considered as a way of punishment through physical pain for aggressive and sexual feelings producing guilt. The purpose of the present study was to examine effect of guilt feelings on nocebo pain responses and the effect of psychologically induced nocebo pain on guilt feelings. The participants were 100 students from Middle East Technical University. There were two independent variables which were guilt induction (guilt-no guilt) and n...
The mechanical properties of intact and traumatized epidural catheters Ates, Y; Yucesoy, CA; Unlu, MA; Saygin, B; Akkas, N (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2000-02-01) Comparative data on the mechanical properties of epidural catheters used clinically are not available. We performed a controlled laboratory investigation to assess the mechanical performance of three different intact or traumatized catheter types (Polyurethane, clear nylon, and radiopaque nylon catheters, designed for 18-gauge Tuohy needles). We studied a control (intact) and two trauma groups (needle bevel and surgical blade). Catheters were loaded to their breaking points by using a Lloyd LS500 material t...
Untargeted metabolomics profiling of skeletal muscle samples from malignant hyperthermia susceptible patients Bojko, Barbara; Vasiljevic, Tijana; Boyacı, Ezel; Roszkowska, Anna; Kraeva, Natalia; Moreno, Carlos A. Ibarra; Koivu, Annabel; Wasowicz, Marcin; Hanna, Amy; Hamilton, Susan; Riazi, Sheila; Pawliszyn, Janusz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-01) Purpose Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal hypermetabolic condition triggered by certain anesthetics and caused by defective calcium homeostasis in skeletal muscle cells. Recent evidence has revealed impairment of various biochemical pathways in MH-susceptible patients in the absence of anesthetics. We hypothesized that clinical differences between MH-susceptible and control individuals are reflected in measurable differences in myoplasmic metabolites. Methods We performed metabolomic profil...
The effects of parental acceptance – rejection/control on personality and psychopathology: mediator role of proneness to shame and guilt Deniz, Pelin; Gençöz, Faruk; Department of Psychology (2014) Although shame and guilt are considered to be functional in interpersonal relationships, both emotions can be painful and debilitating. It was suggested that parental attitudes are likely to induce the feelings of shame and guilt. The aims of the present study were, thus, to investigate the mediator roles of proneness to shame and guilt on the relationship between parental acceptance and psychopathology and personality. The five hundred eighty nine students filled the package of questionnaire including a de...
Does emotional expressivity moderate pain severity/personality traits and depression/marital satisfaction relations in fibromyalgia patients? Denizci, Merve; Bozo Özen, Özlem; Department of Psychology (2015) The objective of this study was to explore whether emotional expressivity moderates pain severity/personality traits and depression/marital satisfaction relations in fibromyalgia patients or not. Biopsychosocial Model was used as the conceptual framework for the study. The sample of the study was composed of 91 fibromyalgia married patients. Eight moderation models were tested using emotional non-expressiveness and alexithymia as moderators, independently. The models included pain severity and neuroticism a...
