The focus is on an improved understanding of immediate dyadic transactions during painful events in the context of broader social phenomena. Fine-grain consideration of social transactions during pain leads to an appreciation of sociobehavioral events affecting both suffering persons as well as caregivers. Our examination considers knowledge from a variety of perspectives, including clinical health psychology, social and developmental processes, evolutionary psychology, communication studies, and behavioral neuroscience.

In contrast, limited attention has been devoted to the interpersonal domain. It is well established that significant others have an impact upon the experience of pain and associated suffering. Largely unexplored are the effects of pain upon the experience of observers themselves. Facing others in pain elicits a varied range of responses from ignoring to distress, compassion, and inclinations to comfort or help. In this review we will argue that understanding the effects of facing others in pain requires an understanding of empathy. After defining the construct and exploring relevant theories, we apply empathy to pain. We discuss how and when empathy may foster distress and inclinations to help, and provide suggestions for future research
