Approaching the biology of human parental attachment: brain imaging, oxytocin and coordinated assessments of mothers and fathers.
James E. Swain,Pilyoung Kim,Julie Spicer,S. Shaun Ho,Carolyn J. Dayton,Alya Elmadih,Kathryn M. Abel +6 more
TL;DR: A new model emerges in which it is proposed that cortico-limbic networks interact to support parental brain responses to infants, including circuitry for arousal/salience/motivation/reward, reflexive/instrumental caring, emotion response/regulation and integrative/complex cognitive processing.

Oxytocin administration to parent enhances infant physiological and behavioral readiness for social engagement.
TL;DR: It is the first to demonstrate that OT administration to one attachment partner can have parallel effects on the other and underscore the role of OT in the cross-generation transmission of human social participation.

TL;DR: Results show that OXT can potentiate the protective and mnemonic impact of aversive social information despite reducing amygdala activity, and suggest that the insula may play a role in emotional modulation of memory.

Self-soothing behaviors with particular reference to oxytocin release induced by non-noxious sensory stimulation.
TL;DR: The role played by oxytocin released by sensory (in particular somatosensory) stimulation, during various kinds of interactive behaviors, is summarized to contribute to every day wellbeing and ability to handle stress.

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.
