Sex/gender differences in personality associated with gender stereotyped behavior are widely studied psychology yet remain a subject of ongoing debate. Exposure to testosterone during developmental periods is considered be primary mediator many sex/gender behavior. Extensions this research has led both lay beliefs and initial about individual basal adulthood relating "masculine" personality. In study, we explored the relationships between testosterone, identity, attributes sample over 400...

Oral contraceptives (OCs) are widely used yet understudied given their potential for public health consequences. Emerging investigations scaling from single-subject, dense-sampling neuroimaging studies to population-level metrics have linked OCs altered brain structure and function. Modeling the hypogonadal, hypergonadal, or mixed state effects of in terms impact on hormone action is a valuable approach synthesizing results across comparing OC companion findings research menstrual cycle...

Aziridines are important synthetic intermediates which readily undergo ring-opening reactions. It is demonstrated that electron-rich phosphines efficient catalysts for the regioselective rearrangement of N-acylaziridines to oxazolines. The reactions occur in excellent yield under neutral conditions. Evidence provided an addition/elimination mechanism by generation a phosphonium intermediate. Similar may be useful development alternate aziridine processes and stereoselective synthesis with...

The present study was designed to determine the hormonal effects warm-up racing cross country runners – a sport that has both individual team components. Members Emory University men’s women’s varsity teams gave saliva samples before warm-up, after immediately finish each two invitational meets held...

Testosterone production in women is thought to systematically shift across the menstrual cycle, peaking during mid-cycle ovulatory window, and potentially influencing women's behavior. a molecular intermediary of estradiol, which necessary for ovulation occur, but amount testosterone escape exposure peripheral tissues not fully understood.

Research on social status competition among women suggests that underlying hormonal shifts associated with the ovulatory cycle systematically drive alterations in preferences and behavior. Specifically, it is proposed fertile window, marked by heightened estradiol lower progesterone levels, related to increased psychological motivation for intrasexual comparison, leading increasing competitiveness jealousy. In this pre-registered, longitudinal study, 257 provided saliva samples hormone...

Abstract Objective A goal of behavioral neuroendocrinology is to understand how basal hormone levels relate behavior. Studies human participants sometimes measure self-reported personality traits, in addition or instead direct observation. Although traits often predict their respective behaviors, whether explains hormone-behavior relationships remains unclear. Methods We obtained data from eight previous studies (total N = 985) that examined baseline testosterone and cortisol as predictors...

Early evidence suggests that hormonal contraceptive (HC) use alters psychological functioning and competitive behavior. Yet, there is limited data on endocrine models for explaining how HC affects these outcomes. In this pre-registered open-data study, we test if users naturally cycling (NC) females in their low (mid-follicular) high (mid-luteal) progesterone phase differ persistence whether cortisol reactivity mediate of effect. (N = 73) the active hormone-exposure NC participants...
