The OXTR gene, implicit learning and social processing: Does empathy evolve from perceptual skills for details?
Martin Melchers,Christian Montag,Sebastian Markett,Nawael Niazy,Johanna Groß-Bölting,Jelena Zimmermann,Martin Reuter +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that differences in implicit perception and storing of environmental details while watching social interactions could be an important mechanism to explain the association between differences in endogenous oxytocin activity and social functioning.

Specification of oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic circuits in the developing mouse brain
TL;DR: Using novel brain clearing techniques and 3D imaging, a systematic quantification indicates that OXT and AVP neurons in the hypothalamus display distinctive dynamics, but also share common features as a high cellular plasticity from embryonic to early postnatal stages.

When Does Oxytocin Affect Human Memory Encoding? The Role of Social Context and Individual Attachment Style.
Ullrich Wagner,Gerald Echterhoff +1 more
TL;DR: Regardless of encoding condition or personality, oxytocin led to more liberal responding in the recognition memory test, which was also reflected in significantly higher false alarm rates (FARs) and a trend towards higher hit rates (HRs) compared to placebo.

Cardiac vagal flexibility and accurate personality impressions: Examining a physiological correlate of the good judge.
TL;DR: Social sensitivity as indexed by cardiac vagal flexibility is linked to forming more accurate impressions of others' observable traits, shedding light on a characteristic that may help to identify the elusive good judge and providing insight into its neurobiological underpinnings.

TL;DR: It is shown that proper behavioral and neural response to social stimuli depends on a developmental process orchestrated by oxytocin neurons, and it is proposed that OXT neurons have an organizational role, namely to shape forebrain neuroarchitecture during development and to acquire an affiliative response towards conspecifics.

Personality and Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the acquired meaning of stimuli and on the situation as perceived, viewing the individual as a cognitive-affective being who construes, interprets, and transforms the stimulus in a dynamic reciprocal interaction with the social world.

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.
