Distress of ostracism: Oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism confers sensitivity to social exclusion
TL;DR: The current investigation demonstrated that relative to individuals with AA genotype, G carriers were more emotionally sensitive in response to social ostracism promoted through an on-line ball tossing game (Cyberball).

Behavioral effects of multiple-dose oxytocin treatment in autism: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial with long-term follow-up
TL;DR: The current observations of long-term beneficial effects on repetitive behaviors and feelings of avoidance are promising and suggestive of a therapeutic potential of oxytocin treatment for ASD.

TL;DR: This preliminary study suggests that the OXTR SNP rs2268493, which has been previously identified as an ASD risk gene, moderates mesolimbic responses during reward anticipation, and may confer ASD risk via influences on the neural systems that support reward anticipation.

Mental State Attribution and Body Configuration in Women
TL;DR: It is found that women with low WHRs excel at identifying emotional states of other people and show a cognitive style that favors empathizing over systemizing, which may be a byproduct of greater gluteofemoral fat stores which are high in the essential fatty acids needed to support brain development and cellular functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine-system genes and cultural acquisition: the norm sensitivity hypothesis
TL;DR: A norm sensitivity hypothesis is proposed, which holds that people acquire culture, and rules of cultural behaviors, through reinforcement-mediated social learning processes, and one corollary is that the degree of cultural acquisition should be influenced by polymorphic variants of genes involved in dopaminergic neural pathways.

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.
