Table 1.

The characteristics of the three groups on the Vicarious Pain Questionnaire (VPQ) showing the mean (SD in parentheses) for the three dimensions used in the cluster analysis, together with mean intensity (0–10 scale).

	Total pain response	Localized-General responses	Sensory-Affective responses	Average intensity scores
Controls	0.05 (0.21)	0.05 (0.21)	0.09 (0.43)	0.003 (0.01)
Sensory/Localiser	11.27 (3.06)	3.64 (6.71)	12.63 (6.43)	2.88 (1.77)
Affective/General	11.77 (2.04)	−4.67 (6.53)	−11.44 (10.17)	3.75 (1.46)

The three dimensions are: the number of movies in which pain is reported (/16); the number of sensory descriptors minus the number of affective descriptors; and the number of pain responses that are localized minus the number of pain responses that are generalized throughout the body.
