stephens, atkins, and kingston (2009) conducted a research study
demonstrating that swearing can help reduce pain. in the study,
each participant was asked to plunge a hand into icy water and keep
it there as long as the pain would allow. in one condition, the
participants repeatedly yelled their favorite curse words while
their hands were in the water. in the other condition the
participants yelled a neutral word. data similar to the results
obtained in the study are shown in the following table. calculate
the mean number of seconds that the participants could tolerate the
pain for each of the two treatment conditions. does it appear that
swearing helped with pain tolerance?
