Oxytocin effects on the human brain: findings, questions, and future directions.
Omri Weisman,Ruth Feldman +1 more
TL;DR: The two reports published in this issue of Biological Psychiatry seem to highlight the “social salience” hypothesis as an important mechanism in facilitating OT-driven changes in human physiology and behavior, albeit findings are also consistent with the ‘social reward’ hypothesis.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that OXT facilitates the processing of negative social stimuli during memory encoding and retrieval, possibly by enhancing the perception of aversive aspects in social situations.

The Williams syndrome prosociality gene GTF2I mediates oxytocin reactivity and social anxiety in a healthy population
TL;DR: A model whereby GTF2I has a continuum of effects on human sociality, from the extreme social phenotypes and oxytocin dysregulation associated with gene deletion in Williams syndrome, to individual differences in Oxytocin reactivity and sociality associated with common polymorphisms in healthy populations is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of oxytocin on human social approach measured using intimacy equilibriums.
TL;DR: It is found that oxytocin increased conversational intimacy in female but not male participants, but that this was matched with compensatory decreases in eye-contact (relative to placebo).

Where does one stand: a biological account of preferred interpersonal distance.
TL;DR: It is found that sensory sensitivity levels predicted IPD preferences, such that the more sensitive one is the farther distance they prefer, and electrophysiological evidence revealed that individuals with higher sensory sensitivity show more alpha suppression for approaching stimuli, strengthening the notion that early sensory cortical excitability is involved in one's social decision of how close to stand to another.

Oxytocin increases trust in humans
TL;DR: It is shown that intranasal administration of oxytocin, a neuropeptide that plays a key role in social attachment and affiliation in non-human mammals, causes a substantial increase in trust among humans, thereby greatly increasing the benefits from social interactions.

A cognitive-affective system theory of personality: Reconceptualizing situations, dispositions, dynamics, and invariance in personality structure.
Walter Mischel,Yuichi Shoda +1 more
TL;DR: A theory was proposed to reconcile paradoxical findings on the invariance of personality and the variability of behavior across situations to account for individual differences in predictable patterns of variability across situations.
