%X Although a bulk of the literature has examined the methods by which people cope with physical pain, little attention has been devoted to how people learn to respond to pain. The current study examined the relation between college studentsĄŻ reports of parental socialization of pain during childhood and their current coping with pain. One hundred twenty-four (65.3% female) college students reported on two methods of parental socialization they experienced during childhood: a) their mothersĄŻ direct responses to their physical pain and b) mothersĄŻ modeling of how they coped with their own pain. College students also reported on their own current coping strategies regarding physical pain. Results indicated that retrospective reports of mothersĄŻ active coping with their own pain and mothersĄŻ promotion responses to their childĄŻs pain during childhood significantly positively predicted college studentsĄŻ current active coping. These findings suggest the relevance of both methods of pain socialization (parental modeling and parentsĄŻ direct responses) for college-age childrenĄŻs current coping with pain.
