Testosterone and androgen receptor gene polymorphism are associated with confidence and competitiveness in men.

Hormones and behavior - 1 Jun 2017

Eisenegger Christoph, Kumsta Robert, Naef Michael, Gromoll Jörg, Heinrichs Markus

Abstract excerpt

A contribution to a special issue on Hormones and Human Competition. Studies in non-human animals and humans have demonstrated the important role of testosterone in competitive interactions. Here, we investigated whether endogenous testosterone levels predict the decision to compete, in a design excluding spite as a motive underlying competitiveness. In a laboratory experiment with real monetary incentives, 181...
