The familial transmission of pain: the role of observational learning in the parent-child dyad
Children of chronic pain patients are more vulnerable to develop pain problems themselves. The interpersonal fear-avoidance model points to the importance of pain-related psychological processes herein. We assume that children can learn these processes through repeatedly observing a parent in pain. To study the effects of observing a parent’s pain in children we will use real-life experimental paradigms.
