In our own work, we have approached hypothesis, namely, that money, in addition to social the relationship between social support and physical support, can reduce the experience of physical pain. pain differently. Specifically, we have suggested that Their hypothesis is based on the premise that social the fact that social support reduces physical pain is support is a “primary pain buffer”—in other words, an unintended byproduct of a broader overlap in the social support is valued because it reduces the expe- neural systems that underlie physical and social pain rience of pain—and that money is a secondary pain processes (Eisenberger & Lieberman, 2005). Thus, to buffer that can reduce pain experience when one’s so- the extent that physical and social pain rely on simi- cial support system has failed and is no longer there to lar neural systems, factors, such as social support, that act as a buffer.
