Primary | Empathic Accuracy Performance | Participants watch videos of targets describing positive and negative autobiographical events and provide continuous ratings of how positive-negative the target is feeling on a 9-point Likert scale. Empathic accuracy is operationalized as a timecourse correlation between perceiver inferences about target affect and targets' own affect ratings. | 45 minutes after drug/placebo administration | |
Primary | Fmri BOLD Response During Empathic Accuracy Task | Images will be acquired using a 3.0 Tesla Siemens Allegra MRI scanner equipped to acquire gradient-echo, echoplanar T2*-weighted images (EPI) with blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast. Each volume will comprise 26 axial slices of 4.5mm thickness and a 3.5 x 3.5mm in-plane resolution, aligned along the AC-PC axis. Volumes will be acquired continuously every 2 seconds. Each run will begin with 5 'dummy' volumes, which will be discarded from further analyses. At the end of the scanning session, a T-1 weighted structural image will be acquired from each participant. | 45 minutes after oxytocin/placebo administration |
