TL;DR: Borderline patients exhibit a hypersensitivity to social threat in early, reflexive stages of information processing, and oxytocin may decrease social threat hypersensitivity and thus reduce anger and aggressive behavior in borderline personality disorder or other psychiatric disorders with enhanced threat-driven reactive aggression.

The correlation between central and peripheral oxytocin concentrations: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Mathias Valstad,Gail A. Alvares,Maiken Egknud,Anna Maria Matziorinis,Ole A. Andreassen,Lars T. Westlye,Daniel Quintana +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate a coordination of central and peripheral oxytocin release after stress and after intranasal administration, and the approach of using peripheral Oxytocin levels to approximate central levels under basal conditions is not supported by the present results.

Social neuroendocrinology of human aggression: examining the role of competition-induced testosterone dynamics.
TL;DR: An overview of the literature on T and human competition, with a primary focus on the role of competition-induced T dynamics in the modulation of human aggression, is provided in this article, where potential neural mechanisms underlying the effect of T dynamics on human aggression are discussed.

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.

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.
