Four decades of research on alexithymia: moving toward clinical applications.
TL;DR: A number of empirical findings on alexithymia now seem sufficiently well-established to consider their clinical application, and Ogrodniczuk et al. (2011) found that high-alexithymic individuals seeking a treatment are as open as low-aleic individuals to receiving psychotherapy.

TL;DR: The present study suggests that the beneficial effects of oxytocin are not limited to the autistic behavior elicited by the authors' psychological task, but may generalize to other autistic behavioral problems associated with the vmPFC.

The neural mechanisms by which testosterone acts on interpersonal trust
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used in a placebo-controlled testosterone administration study with 16 young women to get more insights into neural mechanisms whereby testosterone acts on trust, finding that testosterone administration decreased functional connectivity between amygdala and the OFC during judgments of unfamiliar faces, and also increased amygdala responses specifically to the faces that were rated as untrustworthy.

TL;DR: A treatment effect on right amygdala activation during the processing of angry and happy face stimuli is observed, with pairwise comparisons revealing reduced activation after the 8IU low dose intranasal treatment compared to placebo, suggesting the dampening of amygdala activity in response to emotional stimuli occurs via direct intranal delivery pathways rather than across the blood-brain barrier via systemically circulating OT.

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.
