Normal adult women showed systematic performance fluctuations across the menstrual cycle on several motor and perceptual tests that typically yield sex differences in performance. The midluteal phase, characterized by high levels of estradiol progesterone, was associated with improved speeded coordination impaired a perceptual-spatial test, relative to during menses. Variations gonadal steroid may contribute substantially reported human cognitive skills.

It has been proposed that exposure of the central nervous system to high concentrations androgens during sensitive periods in early development may facilitate ability process spatial information. Most tests this proposal have derived from nonhuman species. To test hypothesis humans, we evaluated reasoning preadolescent children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a condition characterized by elevated gestation. The Primary Mental Abilities (PMA) Spatial Relations was administered 12...
Measures of salivary testosterone and the personality dimensions aggression pro-social behavior were obtained in 306 (155 male 151 female) university students. Each participant provided two samples saliva completed ten self-report scales from multiple inventories. A factor analysis produced factors, an a factor. Men averaged five times amount as women (99 pg/ml vs. 18.5 pg/ml) rated themselves more aggressive less nurturant. Within each sex, was positively correlated with negatively...
Abstract Why do people get involved in the creation of new ventures? Prior research suggests entrepreneurial behavior has multiple causes. Nurture explanations; often couched terms sociological theories like social learning have been popular. Aspects nascent entrepreneurs' contexts, notably their family business background, associated with venture creation. But nature also appears to play a role. Other linked heritable biological factors, including testosterone, career choice launch venture....
