Testosterone and Human Aggression: An Evaluation of the Challenge Hypothesis
TLDR
Predictions were that that testosterone would rise at puberty to moderate levels, which supported reproductive physiology and behavior, and that testosterone levels will be associated with different behavioral profiles among men, associated with life history strategies involving emphasis on either mating or parental effort.About:

New Perspectives on Gender
TL;DR: For instance, this paper reviewed the research that has tried to quantify the relevance of these factors in explaining gender differences in labor market outcomes outside of the laboratory setting and described the relationship between social and gender identity norms and women’s labor market choices and outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of puberty in the developing adolescent brain.
TL;DR: It is suggested that, in the future, developmental neuroimaging studies of adolescence should consider the role of puberty, as tentative evidence to suggest that puberty might play an important role in some aspects of brain and cognitive development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in financial risk aversion and career choices are affected by testosterone.
TL;DR: Both testosterone levels and risk aversion predicted career choices after graduation: Individuals high in testosterone and low in risk aversion were more likely to choose risky careers in finance, suggesting that testosterone has both organizational and activational effects on risk-sensitive financial decisions and long-term career choices.

Power Posing Brief Nonverbal Displays Affect Neuroendocrine Levels and Risk Tolerance
TL;DR: The results of this study confirmed the prediction that posing in high-power nonverbal displays would cause neuroendocrine and behavioral changes for both male and female participants, and suggest that embodiment extends beyond mere thinking and feeling, to physiology and subsequent behavioral choices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: The results indicate a stronger sex difference in motivational rather than effortful or executive forms of behavior control, which support evolutionary and biological theories of risk taking predicated on sex differences in punishment sensitivity.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
The measurement of psychological androgyny.
TL;DR: A new sex-role inventory is described that treats masculinity and femininity as two independent dimensions, thereby making it possible to characterize a person as masculine, feminine, or "androgynous" as a function of the difference between his or her endorsement of masculine and feminine personality characteristics.

The aggression questionnaire.

TL;DR: Correlational analysis revealed that anger is the bridge between both physical and verbal aggression and hostility and the need to assess not only overall aggression but also its individual components.

The "Challenge Hypothesis": Theoretical Implications for Patterns of Testosterone Secretion, Mating Systems, and Breeding Strategies
TL;DR: This model indicates that there may be widely different hormonal responses to male-male and male-female interactions and presumably equally plastic neural mechanisms for the transduction of these signals into endocrine secretions.
