Abstract
⺠First study to investigate the relationship between menstrual cycle and a broader array of empathic abilities. ⺠Females during the follicular phase showed better emotion recognition performance. ⺠Females in the luteal phase showed faster responses when asked to imagine a sad or angry situation. ⺠Emotional perspective taking performance did not differ between the two phase groups. ⺠Progesterone correlated with emotion recognition and affective responsiveness in the luteal phase.
