概要 Previous research has hypothesized that people experience (social) pain when they are excluded from a group because physical pain (elicited by noxious bodily stimuli) and social exclusion activate common brain regions (e.g., the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula). Although this hypothesis gained extensive media coverage and made a large impact on present social psychology, this merely reverse inference (i.e., common brain regions are activated = same psychological processes are occurring) does not necessarily mean that people feel pain when being excluded. In this talk, I pointed out the remaining problems of previous inferences and showed the recent results of my work examining the similarity between physical pain and social pain.
