Differences in Salivary Cortisol and Testosterone may guide social network dynamics
February 5, 2016Cortisol and testosterone associations with social network dynamics Author: Kornienko, et al (2015), Psychoneuroendocrinology. This study integrates behavioral endocrinology and network science to explore links between hormones and social network dynamics. Specifically, we examine how cortisol (C) and testosterone (T) are associated with creation of new friendships and maintenance of existing friendships. A collegiate marching […]
