Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy for Pain Involves the Affective but not Sensory Components of Pain
TL;DR: Only that part of the pain network associated with its affective qualities, but not its sensory qualities, mediates empathy, suggesting that the neural substrate for empathic experience does not involve the entire "pain matrix".
Journal ArticleDOI
The social neuroscience of empathy
Tania Singer,Claus Lamm +1 more
TL;DR: An in‐depth and critical discussion of the findings of recent studies showing that empathy is a highly flexible phenomenon, and that vicarious responses are malleable with respect to a number of factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain
TL;DR: It is concluded that social neuroscience paradigms provide reliable and accurate insights into complex social phenomena such as empathy and that meta-analyses of previous studies are a valuable tool in this endeavor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathic neural responses are modulated by the perceived fairness of others
TL;DR: It is shown that in men (at least) empathic responses are shaped by valuation of other people's social behaviour, such that they empathize with fair opponents while favouring the physical punishment of unfair opponents, a finding that echoes recent evidence for altruistic punishment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The empathic brain: how, when and why?
TL;DR: This work proposes two major roles for empathy; its epistemological role is to provide information about the future actions of other people, and important environmental properties, and proposes a contextual approach, suggesting several modulatory factors that might influence empathic brain responses.
