| Sadness | 0.36 (0.04) | 0.27 (0.07) |
| Happiness | 0.42 (0.06) | 0.33 (0.07) |

aEmpathic accuracy data were unavailable for one TD and one CD subject due to technical difficulties. Key: CD Conduct Disorder, SE standard error, TD typically-developing
Note: Mean scores were transformed back to correlation coefficient scores (r) from Fisher’s Z for ease of interpretation. Scores could range from −1 to 1 with higher scores representing higher levels of empathic accuracy
