Table 2.

Correlations between emotion-specific performance and metacognitive domains.

Mean (SD) Happiness Neutral Anger Disgust Sadness Fear
Self-reflectivity 5.07 (1.48) 0.31* 0.45** 0.26* 0.45** 0.33* 0.28*
Understanding of others' minds 2.96 (0.80) 0.15 0.23 0.08 0.29* 0.33* 0.28*
Decentration 0.53 (0.43) 0.29* 0.32* 0.06 0.33* 0.22 0.2
Mastery 4.30 (1.69) 0.17 0.21 0.24 0.33* 0.24 0.19

Note. ** Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). * Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). Analyses reported above used composite emotion variables; that is, performance on each emotion was collapsed across tasks. Higher scores on the Derntl paradigm empathy tasks and the MAS-A domains represent better empathic performance and better metacognition, respectively.
