Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these factors (beliefs, expectations, and lack of control) can potentially explain the difference between not reporting pain in accidental injuries versus experiencing pain during torture. Beliefs and expectations can shape how individuals interpret and communicate pain, while lack of control may affect a person's willingness to report their pain or even their ability to recognize it.
