Vicarious pain while observing another in pain: an experimental approach
OBJECTIVE This study aimed at developing an experimental paradigm to assess vicarious pain experiences. We further explored the putative moderating role of observer's characteristics such as hypervigilance for pain and dispositional empathy. METHODS Two experiments are reported using a similar procedure. Undergraduate students were selected based upon whether they reported vicarious pain in d...
متن کاملFibromyalgia patients and controls are equally accurate in detecting tactile stimuli while observing another in pain: an experimental study.
This study investigated the effects of observing pain in others upon vicarious somatosensory experiences and the detection of somatosensory stimuli in both fibromyalgia (FM) patients and controls. The putative modulatory role of dispositional empathy, hypervigilance to pain, and central sensitization was examined. FM patients (n = 39) and controls (n = 38) saw videos depicting pain-related (han...
متن کاملObserving another in pain facilitates vicarious experiences and modulates somatosensory experiences
OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether individuals reporting vicarious pain in daily life (e.g., the self-reported vicarious pain group) display vicarious experiences during an experimental paradigm, and also show an improved detection of somatosensory stimuli while observing another in pain. Furthermore, this study investigated the stability of these phenomena. Finally, this study explored ...
متن کاملVicarious experiences and detection accuracy while observing pain and touch: The effect of perspective taking.
In this study, we investigated the effects of observing pain and touch in others on vicarious somatosensory experiences and the detection of subtle somatosensory stimuli. Furthermore, the effect of taking a first- versus a third-person perspective was investigated. Undergraduates (N = 57) viewed videos depicting hands being pricked (pain), hands being touched by a cotton swab (touch), and contr...
متن کاملSomatosensory hypervigilance and pain: An experimental approach
The present study investigated the effects of focusing attention towards auditory or somatosensory stimuli on perceptual sensitivity and response bias using a signal detection task. Participants (N = 44) performed an unspeeded detection task in which weak (individually calibrated) somatosensory or auditory stimuli were delivered. The focus of attention was manipulated by the presentation of a v...
