Scientists conducted an experiment to test the levels of trustworthiness with testosterone and women. A placebo and testosterone was administered to trustworthy women and untrustworthy women. Oxytocin is a hormone that is released in a pulsatile manner, often when a person makes physical contact with someone else. When a person comes into contact with someone else the hormone is released into the bloodstream. The hormone causes relaxation, positive moods and trust. What scientists found was that the testosterone in females caused a decreased level of trust in women. Which is caused by a decrease in oxytocin levels.
