Increases in men's testosterone (T) levels after intrasexual competitions and exposure to
females facilitate competitive and courtship behaviours, suggesting T reactivity should affect …

Testosterone reactivity has been conceptualized as a marker of social submission at low
levels and social dominance at high levels. However, hormonal fluctuations in response to …

There is growing evidence that steroid hormones interact to shape social behavior. In
particular, regarding basal hormonal levels, cortisol has repeatedly been found to moderate …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Dominance contests are recurrent and widespread causes of stress among mammals.
Studies of activation of the stress axis in social defeat–as reflected in levels of adrenal …

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 …

The present study analyzes the testosterone (T), cortisol (C) and emotional response in
competitive interactions between dyads, as well as the relationship between basal T and the …

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