An experiment conducted in 2006 revealed that men (but not women) enjoy seeing bad people suffer. The research aimed to study empathy by observing the activity of brain centers (using fMRI) while subjects watched someone experience physical pain. Researchers expected that the empathy center in the brain would show greater activity when an electric shock was administered to someone the subject perceived as good, compared to someone perceived as bad. This proved to be the case, but in men, the pleasure centers were also activated when they believed that someone was receiving a deserved electric shock.
