The Behavior Characteristic of the Perception of Others'Pain among the Anxiously Attached Individuals
From the perspectives of trait and state,and using painful and non-painful pictures as experimental materials,the present study investigated the behavior characteristic of the perception of others'pain among the anxiously attached individuals.The results showed that,compared with the trait secure attachment group,the trait anxious attachment group reported more pain intensity and un-pleasantness for painful pictures,while the rating difference for non-painful pictures was not significant;furthermore,compared with the priming secure attachment group,the priming anxious attachment group reported more unpleasantness for painful pictures,while the rat-ing difference for non-painful pictures was not significant.The findings from present study indicated that,both in traits and state lev-els,individuals with high anxious attachment could perceived more negative experiences in the face of other's pain,and tend to recog-nize others'pain as a threat,which is in line with the threat value of pain.More negative experiences among individuals with high anx-ious attachment may have negative effects on their caring behavior.
