It has been proposed in the literature that the testosterone (T) response to competition in
humans may be modulated by cognitive variables. In a previous experiment with a female …

Testosterone (T) increases after competition have typically been attributed to winning, yet
there is also evidence that being victorious is not in itself sufficient to provoke a T response …

Social interactions elicit androgen responses whose function has been posited to be the
adjustment of androgen-dependent behaviors to social context. The activation of this …

A contribution to a special issue on Hormones and Human Competition. We investigated the
effects of competition on men's testosterone levels and assessed whether androgen …

Few studies have investigated the influence of changes in testosterone on subsequent
competitive, antagonistic behavior in humans. Further, little is known about the extent to …

In many species testosterone fluctuates in concert with outcome-dependent changes in
social status, such that winning a competition leads to an increase in circulating testosterone …

Testosterone has been theorized to direct status-seeking behaviors, including competitive
behavior. However, most human studies to date have adopted correlational designs, and …

Transient shifts in testosterone occur during competition and are thought to positively
influence dominance behavior aimed at enhancing social status. However, individual …

Testosterone concentrations rise rapidly in the context of competitive interactions and
remain elevated in winners relative to losers. Theoretical models suggest that this divergent …

A wealth of evidence has linked individual differences in testosterone (T) to social, cognitive,
and behavioral processes related to human dominance. Moreover, recent evidence …
