Perceivers recognize pain less readily on Black (vs. White) faces in the United States. The
present work investigated whether this perceptual bias is moderated by target weight and …

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that perceivers recognize painful expressions
less readily on Black (compared to White) faces. However, it is unclear how rapidly this bias …

Abstract In the United States, Black Americans are undertreated for their pain. While pain
disparities likely arise from a complex interplay of structural, historical, and individual factors …

Racial disparities in pain care affecting Black Americans are mirrored by a similar perceptual
bias: perceivers see pain less readily on Black (vs. White) faces. Here, we examine the …

Abstract The pain of Black Americans is systematically underdiagnosed and undertreated,
compared to the pain of their White counterparts. Extensive research has examined the …

Racial disparities in pain care may stem, in part, from perceptual roots. It remains
unresolved, however, whether this perceptual gap is driven by general deficits in intergroup …

Research has demonstrated racial disparities in pain care such that Black patients often
receive poorer pain care than White patients. Little is known about mechanisms accounting …

Across six studies (N= 904), we suggest a novel mechanism for race disparities in pain
treatment: Perceiver deficits in discriminating real from fake pain for Black (relative to White) …

Racial disparities in pain care may be linked to a perceptual source: perceivers see pain
less readily on Black (versus white) faces. We conducted an internal meta-analysis (40 …

The accurate perception of others' pain is important for both perceivers and targets. Yet, like
other person perception judgments, pain judgments are prone to biases. Although past work …
