Table 1. Contribution of empathic concern (EC), instrumental harm (IH), and impartial beneficence (IB) scores on subjects’ behavior in study 1.

The table presents results from three multiple regression analyses. The dependent variables in the three analyses were hyperaltruism (κotherκself), relative harm sensitivity (otherβΔsselfβΔs), and relative monetary sensitivity (otherβΔmselfβΔm). Results in bold are further illustrated in Figure 3C.
