Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy refers to a person's belief in their ability to successfully complete tasks and achieve goals. Those with high self-efficacy are more likely to persevere through pain and discomfort because they believe they have the ability to cope with it. Research has shown that individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy report lower levels of pain and disability related to conditions such as arthritis, childbirth, and migraines. Self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-esteem may be beneficial for other aspects of mental health, but do not have as strong a correlation with pain tolerance.
