Summary of linear mixed modeling results for predictors of the quality of participants’ social functioning.

Note. In these analyses, the intercept represented participants’ social functioning at time 1.a Slope was set as fixed at Step 3 due to non-significant change in model fit at Step 2. Predictors, added at Step 3, were used to explain between-subject variability in the intercept only.b Three models, distinguished by type of emotional stimulus, were run at Step 3. Within each model, variables were entered hierarchically (1- covariates, 2—main effects, 3—interaction effects).EQ = empathy quotient; PR = personally-relevant; G = generic.* p ** Increase in model fit was statistically significant (p Summary of linear mixed modeling results for predictors of the quality of participants’ social functioning.
