Beyond sex and aggression: testosterone rapidly matches behavioural responses to social context and tries to predict the future
AM Kelly, JA Gonzalez Abreu… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Although androgens are widely studied in the context of aggression, androgenic influences
on prosocial behaviours have been less explored. We examined testosterone's (T) influence …

Testosterone facilitates nonreproductive, context-appropriate pro-and anti-social behavior in female and male Mongolian gerbils
AM Kelly, RR Thompson - Hormones and Behavior, 2023 - Elsevier
A growing body of literature suggests that testosterone (T) rapidly modulates behavior in a
context-specific manner. However, the timescales in which T can rapidly mediate distinct …

What can animal research tell us about the link between androgens and social competition in humans?
A contribution to a special issue on Hormones and Human Competition. The relationship
between androgenic hormones, like testosterone (T), and aggression is extensively studied …

Opposing hormonal mechanisms of aggression revealed through short-lived testosterone manipulations and multiple winning experiences
Territorial aggression is influenced by many social and environmental factors. Since
aggression is a costly behavior, individuals should account for multiple factors such as …

Bidirectional relationships between testosterone and aggression: a critical analysis of four predictions
EM George, KA Rosvall - Integrative and comparative biology, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Experimentally elevated testosterone (T) often leads to enhanced aggression, with
examples across many different species, including both males and females. Indeed, the …

Does a short-term increase in testosterone affect the intensity or persistence of territorial aggression?—An approach using an individual's hormonal reactive scope to …
W Goymann, CP Villavicencio, B Apfelbeck - Physiology & behavior, 2015 - Elsevier
In this study, we describe an approach based on an individual's hormonal reactive scope to
study short-term effects of hormones on behavior. The control of territorial aggression has …

Sexual modulation of testosterone: insights for humans from across species
KL Goldey, SM van Anders - Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology, 2015 - Springer
Testosterone (T) is generally understood to influence sexual behavior, but how T responds
to sexuality is less well characterized across vertebrate species. Here, we review and …

Men with elevated testosterone levels show more affiliative behaviours during interactions with women
Testosterone (T) is thought to play a key role in male–male competition and courtship in
many vertebrates, but its precise effects are unclear. We explored whether courtship …

The social neuroendocrinology of human aggression
Testosterone concentrations fluctuate rapidly in response to competitive and aggressive
interactions, suggesting that changes in testosterone rather than baseline differences shape …

Functional significance of men's testosterone reactivity to social stimuli
Rapid testosterone fluctuations in response to social stimuli are observed across a wide
range of species, and the highly conserved nature of these fluctuations suggests an …
