Testosterone reduced confidence

Testosterone is a hormone that is quite interesting, man is produced in the testicles, and its effects are several: since the penis and testicles, sexual, as well as causes more competitive or aggressive behaviours desire increased growth.

Recent research has been found as testosterone lowers the confidence of some people by neutralizing the effects of oxytocin, which normally is released in men and women for example during orgasm or in general when we feel pleasure, as well as when the woman gives chest being stimulated nipple, is why romantic way it has has christened it the hormone of love.

While oxytocin causes humans increased confidence, putting us treason under his influence, one is able to trust others we know that in the background are unreliable. It is clear that trust plays an important role in the development of social relations between individuals, and at the same time we know that our confidence has a cost, since today it is easy that fooled you or so upset.

Testosterone is a hormone associated with competition and domination, is often seen as an inhibitor of sociability, and why scientists have wanted to experiment with it admisnitrandola women in a controlled experiment.It was giving testosterone or placebo 24 women twenties, then ask them about faces of unknown people through photos, and know if they inspired them trusted or not.

Women who took testosterone actually were more suspicious, especially those that were generally more naive or entrusted, as they really give or suspicious by nature were women showed no results very different after having been applied testosterone.According to the researchers, thus demonstrated that testosterone counteracts some effects of oxytocin, allowing more naïve people to be more clever, or in any case them reduces the confidence they have towards the other.
