Table 3. Best-fitting model for empathic concern with type of pain, negative, and positive affect.
| Empathic Concern ~ Type of Pain + Negative Affect + Positive Affect + (1 + Type of Pain|Subject) + (1|Item) | |
|---|---|
| Fixed effects | Estimate (Std. Error) |
| Intercept | -0.67 (0.73) |
| Psychological pain | 2.47 *** (0.21) |
| Physical pain | 1.74 *** (0.17) |
| Negative affect | 0.11 * (0.05) |
| Positive affect | 0.04 * (0.02) |
| Random effects | Explained variance (Std. Dev.) |
| Items | 0.02 (0.13) |
| Subjects | 0.73 (0.85) |
| Psychological pain | 2.40 (1.55) |
| Physical pain | 1.61 (1.27) |
Linear mixed-effects model with type of pain, positive, and negative affect before the experiment as fixed effects and random intercepts for subjects and items as well as by-subject random slope for type of pain;
* p < .05,
*** p < .001.
