Social power lessens first-person experiences of pain, but whether its effect translates to empathy for pain is unclear. Across five studies, we found that powerful participants are less empathetic, and that trait variables moderated the effect of power on empathy, suggesting that power has an analgesic effect on empathy. We also present the latest results from an EEG study that explored the effect of social power on ERP components that index empathy for pain.
