**Original citation.** Zaki, J., Bolger, N., & Ochsner, K. (2008). It takes two: The interpersonal nature of empathic accuracy. *Psychological Science, 19*(4), 399-404.
**Target of replication.** Zaki et al. (2008) predicted that “greater trait affective empathy would increase empathic accuracy, but only when targets were high in trait expressivity.” We seek to replicate the original authors' finding to support this hypothesis, b = 0.14, p < 0.02.
**A priori replication criteria.** A successful replication would find that the coefficient for trait affective empathy predicts empathetic accuracy among high expressivity targets.
Data collection is currently underway; this replication's findings and final report will follow.
