Research on empathy for pain has provided evidence of an empathic bias toward racial ingroup members. In this study, we used for the first time the "minimal group paradigm" in which participants were assigned to artificial groups and required to perform pain judgments of pictures of hands and feet in painful or non-painful situations from self, ingroup, and outgroup perspectives. Findings showed that the mere categorization of people into two distinct arbitrary social groups appears to be sufficient to elicit an ingroup bias in empathy for pain.
对疼痛共情的研究为种族内群体成员的共情偏见提供了证据。在这项研究中，我们首次使用了“最小群体范式”，参与者被分配到人工群体中，并要求从自我、内群体和外群体的角度对痛苦和非痛苦情况下的手和脚的图片进行疼痛判断。研究结果表明，仅仅将人们划分为两个截然不同的任意社会群体，似乎足以引起对疼痛的共情内群体偏见。
