a) Pre-registered study on Compassion rating of SoVT and verified correlations. b) Study on Empathy rating of SoVT: the pre-registered correlations, and the exploratory part (presented with dashed arrows). c) The exploratory part with Identification with social groups and the verified correlations. Please note that hypothesis 1 is not displayed here as it only involves a validity check of the SoVT (testing the difference between high emotional (HE) and low emotional (LE) videos.
