有人认为，我们把别人被排斥的痛苦当作自己的痛苦来感受。然而，尚不清楚观察到的排斥是否与自我体验的排斥一样令人痛苦。我们进行了两项研究来解决这一空白。在研究1中，参与者玩或观察一个在线投球游戏，在这个游戏中，他们或一个陌生人被其他人排斥或排斥。在研究2中，参与者想象自己或其他人被排斥或被包容。在这两项研究中，自我体验和观察到的排斥对情绪有同样的负面影响。此外，自我体验和观察到的排斥都诱发了需要威胁，但观察到的排斥后这种效应略低。总而言之，研究结果表明，我们确实会把别人被排斥的痛苦当作自己的痛苦，这与人类拥有一种能够检测环境中违反社会包容规范的系统的观点是一致的。
It has been argued that we feel the pain of others' ostracism as our own. However, it is unknown whether observed ostracism is as distressing as self-experienced ostracism. We conducted two studies to address this lacuna. In Study 1, participants played or observed an online ball-tossing game, in which they or a stranger were ostracized or included by others. In Study 2, participants imagined themselves or someone else being ostracized or included. Across both studies, self-experienced and observed ostracism had the same negative effect on mood. Also, both self-experienced and observed ostracism evoked need threat, but this effect was slightly lower after observed ostracism. In sum, the findings suggest that we do feel the pain of others' ostracism as our own, consistent with the notion that humans are equipped with a system that detects violations of social inclusion norms in the environment.
