Neuromodulation by oxytocin and vasopressin in the central nervous system as a basis for their rapid behavioral effects.
TL;DR: A summary of the most recent neuromodulatory findings in rodents is given with the aim of providing a potential neurophysiological basis for their behavioral effects and point to promising areas for further translational research towards human applications.

TL;DR: It is shown that chemogenetic activation of OT neurons within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) of male mice (OT-Ires-Cre) enhanced social investigation during a social choice test, while Chemogenetic inhibition of these neurons abolished typical social preferences, suggesting that activation of the OT system is necessary to direct behavior preferentially toward social stimuli.

A review of human male field studies of hormones and behavioral reproductive effort
TL;DR: Evidence is presented for links between prenatal and juvenile androgens and sexual attraction and aggression, and the proposal that adrenal androgens-DHEA and androstenedione-may play functional roles during juvenility as part of a life-stage specific system is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A registered replication study on oxytocin and trust
TL;DR: A registered replication study by some of the original authors found no effect of oxytocin on trusting behaviour under the same conditions, and exploratory post hoc analyses suggest that OT may increase trust in individuals with a low disposition to trust in the NoC condition, but this finding requires confirmation in future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin selectively moderates negative cognitive appraisals in high trait anxious males.
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided to suggest that oxytocin may reduce negative cognitive self-appraisals in high trait anxious males, adding to a growing body of evidence that Oxytocin seems to attenuate negative cognitive responses to stress in anxious individuals.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
