…under testosterone, our prosocial choices are more random despite "knowing" what would be the right choice. Such findings support dominance models of testosterone and suggest that the hormone shifts decisions to counteract conformity and deceptive reputation strategies.(3/3)

Humans tend to be nicer towards others when being watched. A new study in @NPP_Journal, led by @hana_kutlikova & @lei_zhang_lz, reveals that testosterone administration fully eliminates such strategic prosociality doi.org/10.1038/s41386-023-0… (1/3)
