Gökhan Aydogan,Nadja C. Furtner,Bianca Kern,Andrea Jobst,Norbert Müller,Martin G. Kocher,Martin G. Kocher +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence that intranasal applied oxytocin enhances the inclination to sanction free-riders in a social dilemma situation is provided, implying that the neural circuits underlying altruistic punishment are partly targeted by the oxytonergic system.

Context and Individual Characteristics Modulate the Association between Oxytocin Receptor Gene Polymorphism and Social Behavior in Border Collies.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the effects of oxytocin on the dogs’ social behavior are not universal, but constrained by features of situations and individuals, and understanding these constraints helps further clarify how oxytoc in mediates social behavior which, in the long run, could improve the application of Oxytocin in pharmacotherapy.

Oxytocin, vasopressin, and primate behavior: Diversity and insight.
Sara M. Freeman,Karen L. Bales +1 more
TL;DR: The articles presented here contribute to a greater understanding on the role of oxytocin and vasopressin in primate physiology and behavior and help to further advance the application of this knowledge to human biology.

Urinary oxytocin positively correlates with performance in facial visual search in unmarried males, without specific reaction to infant face.
Atsuko Saito,Hiroki Hamada,Takefumi Kikusui,Kazutaka Mogi,Miho Nagasawa,Shohei Mitsui,Takashi Higuchi,Toshikazu Hasegawa,Kazuo Hiraki +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggests that endogenous oxytocin is related to facial visual cognition, but does not promote infant-specific responses in unmarried men who are not fathers.

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.
