[en] We measured participants’ cardiac vagal tone and administered oxytocin or a placebo before participants completed a task assessing person perception accuracy. There was a significant interaction between vagal tone and drug condition. These results provide support for the hypothesis that vagal tone moderates oxytocin’s effects on social perception.
