A conceptual model depicting the overlapping neural regions activated by physical and social pain as well as the consequences of this overlap for trait differences in sensitivity to pain (individual differences in physical pain sensitivity should correlate positively with individual differences in social pain sensitivity) and for state differences in sensitivity to pain (factors that increase or decrease one kind of pain should alter the other kind of pain in a congruent manner).
