Table 2.

As demonstrated by frequency analyses, cue use tended to be in the direction of VHs that were female, African-American, older adults, and/or had a high pain facial expression. Z-score tests of proportions showed that significantly more individuals used female, old, and high pain, compared to male, young, and low pain cues, respectively.

Sex N=24 Race N=27 Age N=50 Pain Expression N=104
Male Female Z-score Caucasian African American Z-score Old Young Z-score Low Pain High Pain Z-score

Significance level for Z-score tests of proportions:

*

p<.05,

**

p<.01,

***

p<.001

Note: There were 3 participants who did not use any cues during this study (total N=107). Participants’ cue use was determined to be significant at the p<.10.
