Punishing free-riders isn't what I would consider under empathy. I would think that highly dominate people with a lot of testosterone will rather engage in punishing free-riders than empathic people.

I didn't mean that an empathic person would be more likely to punish free-riders. I meant that an empathic person would be less likely to free ride, and thus be less likely to be punished (or more likely to be rewarded).

I dunno, I hear that oxytocin makes you nicer towards your in-group but less nice towards your out-group.

Would you predict that whites produce less oxytocin than blacks?

I have no idea.
