“…Still, our Þndings that pain modulated certain subjective e¤ects of morphine are consistent with the body of animal and human literature reviewed earlier, in which painful stimuli altered the behavioral e¤ects of opioids (e.g., Wol¤ et al 1940;Colpaert et al 1982;Dib and Duclaux 1982;Borgbjerg et al 1996). Our Þndings are also consistent with those few human studies which have shown an attenuation of subjective and behavioral e¤ects of alcohol by painful stimuli (Korman et al 1960;Frankenhaeuser et al 1974;Breslin et al 1994Breslin et al , 1995. These studies taken as a whole emphasize the importance of conducting further research involving drug e¤ects in humans in the context of pain.…”

“…The relationship between pain and non-opioid drug e¤ects in humans has also been examined. The impairing and intoxicating e¤ects of alcohol can be attenuated by painful stimuli (i.e., cold water, electric shock) (Korman et al 1960;Frankenhaeuser et al 1974;Breslin et al 1994Breslin et al , 1995. Breslin et al (1994) studied healthy volunteers who consumed two alcoholic beverages in the laboratory and were then subjected to a cold pressor test (in which a forearm was immersed into ice-cold water), or to a warm-water control situation.…”

The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of a painful stimulus on morphine and butorphanol effects in healthy non-drug abusing volunteers. Thirteen subjects with no history of opiate dependence participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover trial in which each subject received saline, 2 mg/70 kg butorphanol, and 10 mg/70 kg morphine, IV, in each of two conditions, periodic forearm immersions into either ice-cold water (2 degrees C) or into warm water (37 degrees C). Both opioids reduced self-reported ratings of pain intensity, indicative of analgesia. Several of the subjective effects of morphine were attenuated either during or in between cold-water immersions, including visual analog scale ratings of "coasting (spaced out)," "high (drug "high")," "sleepy (drowsy, tired)," and "lightheaded". In contrast, some of butorphanol's subjective effects were increased by the cold-water manipulation. Morphine impaired psychomotor performance during one of the warm-water immersions, but not during the cold-water immersions. Psychomotor impairment induced by butorphanol was not affected by water temperature. This study provides evidence that opioid effects can be modulated by a painful stimulus in humans.

“…Due to the complex roles and program responsibilities, a generally accepted notion is that agriculture teachers have greater workloads and work longer hours than typical secondary education teachers. According to Frankenhaeuser (1998), the term, -workload‖ comprises the challenges individuals face by the different work demands. The appraisal of workload involves weighing the intensity of the work demands in completing the tasks and roles against one's own mental coping abilities.…”

Teachers distribute their time in many ways. The study sought to determine how agriculture teachers distribute their time among 11 selected teacher activities (i.e., preparation for instruction; classroom/laboratory teaching; laboratory preparation and/or maintenance; grading/scoring students' work; administrative duties-program management; professional activities; Supervised Agricultural Experience observations and recording; local FFA activities; non-local FFA activities; Career Development Events preparation; and adult education) over a 15-week period. Additionally, comparisons were made for three teacher types (i.e., studentteachers, first-year teachers, and experience teachers). An additional time category (observation) was observed for student teachers. It was concluded that of the 11 selected areas, all teachers spend the majority of their time planning and providing classroom and laboratory instruction. The least amount of time was spent on adult education. Further, it was concluded that first-year teacher and student teachers display similar use of time in the 11 selected areas over the 15-week period. Recommendations cited include the need for personal development efforts in time-management and a need to better reflect on priorities for distributing time.

“…Grunberg and Baum (1985) suggested that stress may reduce the psychopharmacological impact of drugs like alcohol, possibly resulting in increased use. Frankenhaeuser, Dunne, Bjurstrom, and Lundberg (1974) found that electric shock attenuated the deleterious effects of alcohol on a reaction time (RT) task. It has also been informally noted that acute stressors such as cold pain can have a sobering effect on individuals (cf.…”

Effect of stress on perceived intoxication and the blood alcohol curve in men and women.

To determine the influence of stress on intoxication and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) 60 healthy male and female volunteers were exposed to a cold pressor test, distressing film, or control condition after consuming a moderate dose of alcohol. Two measures of perceived intoxication suggested a sobering effect of acute stressors. In addition, Ss viewing the distressing film showed longer latency to peak BAC than Ss in the control condition. As BAC began to fall, the cold pressor test initially increased rate of alcohol elimination. These stress-induced changes in intoxication and the BAC curve support a biobehavioral model in which stress may increase alcohol use partly because it attenuates alcohol's psychopharmacological impact.
