Nevertheless, the underlying psychobiological mechanisms that might be responsible for them remain unclear. Oxytocin (OXT) stands out as an important hormone that may favor the salience of social information, due to its relevance in empathy and prosocial behavior. Thus, the study of salivary OXT (sOXT) may provide further information about potential impairments in social cognition in IPV perpetrators. This study analyzed the effects of an empathic induction task, performed through negative emotion-eliciting videos, on endogenous sOXT levels, mood state, and emotional perception in 30 IPV perpetrators compared to 32 controls. Additionally, we explored their performance on prosocial behavior after the empathic induction task, using Hare''s donation procedure. Lower sOXT levels were found in IPV perpetrators after the task compared to controls, along with a general decreasing tendency in their sOXT levels. Additionally, IPV perpetrators exhibited no change in their mood state and perceived others'' emotions as more positive and less intense. Moreover, the mood state response and alexithymia traits, respectively, positively and negatively predicted the sOXT levels after the empathic induction task in the entire sample. Finally, we did not observe a lower appearance of prosocial behaviors in IPV perpetrators; however, higher sOXT levels after the empathic induction task were found in subjects who donated when considering the whole sample. In sum, IPV perpetrators exhibited differences in their sOXT levels when empa-thizing, compared to controls, with alexithymia and the emotional response potentially explaining the sOXT levels after the task. Furthermore, prosocial behavior was more related to these sOXT levels than to IPV. As our knowledge about the emotional processing of IPV perpetrators increases, we will be better able to develop and include coadjutant treatments in current psychotherapeutic programs, in order to focus on their emotional needs, which, in turn, would reduce the future risk of recidivism. 000112111 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-111412RB-I00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/PND2018/021 000112111 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000112111 590__ $$a3.7$$b2022 000112111 592__ $$a1.391$$b2022 000112111 591__ $$aNEUROSCIENCES$$b114 / 272 = 0.419$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT2 000112111 593__ $$aEndocrinology$$c2022$$dQ1 000112111 591__ $$aPSYCHIATRY$$b78 / 154 = 0.506$$c2022$$dQ3$$eT2 000112111 593__ $$aEndocrine and Autonomic Systems$$c2022$$dQ1 000112111 591__ $$aENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM$$b75 / 144 = 0.521$$c2022$$dQ3$$eT2 000112111 593__ $$aPsychiatry and Mental Health$$c2022$$dQ1 000112111 593__ $$aEndocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism$$c2022$$dQ1 000112111 593__ $$aBiological Psychiatry$$c2022$$dQ2 000112111 594__ $$a8.4$$b2022 000112111 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000112111 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5990-1266$$aBlanco Gandia, M.
