The first study investigates the roles of ovarian steroids, measured from metabolites of estradiol and progesterone, individual characteristics, and their interactions in predicting empathic behaviors across the ovulatory cycle. Multilevel timelagged analysis will be used to test temporal relationships between changes in hormone concentrations and changes in empathic interactions. The second study explores how empathic interactions (receipt, provision) are associated with the formation and maintenance of social capital, including social networks, subjective well-being, and belongingness, among women in rural Matlab, Bangladesh. Multilevel (dyad level) and multivariate (individual level) analysis indicated that empathy receipt and provisioning had differential impacts on social capital, and that recently married daughtersin- law provide higher levels of empathic provisioning than other women."
