Pain demands the attention of others: parental detection, interpretation and responses to their child's pain

The objectives of this project are threefold: investigating the determinants of (1) parental detection of pain in their child, (2) parental interpretation of pain of their child and (3) parental responding to their child's pain. In addition to the impact of the child's pain expression and contextual characteristics, the role of parental catastrophizing about their child's pain will be investigated.
