Pain facial expression: Individual variability undermines the specific adaptationist account
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (4):461-462 (2002)
| Abstract | The proposal that there are specific adaptations for the expression and detection of pain appears premature on both conceptual and empirical grounds. We discuss criteria for the validation of a pain facial expression. We also describe recent findings from our lab on coping styles and pain expression, which illustrate the importance of considering individual differences when proposing evolutionary explanations. | |||||||||
