abstract = {Testosterone affects human social behavior in various ways.
While testosterone effects are generally associated with
muscular strength and aggressiveness, human studies also
point towards enhanced status–seeking motives after
testosterone administration. The current study tested the
causal influence of exogenous testosterone on male behavior
during a competitive provocation paradigm. In this double
blind, randomized, placebo (PL)-controlled study, 103 males
were assigned to a PL or testosterone group receiving a
colorless PL or testosterone gel. To induce provocation,
males played a rigged reaction time game against an
ostensible opponent. When participants lost, the opponent
subtracted money from the participant who in return could
subtract money from the ostensible opponent. Participants
subjectively indicated anger and self-estimated treatment
affiliation (testosterone or PL administration). A
trial-by-trial analysis demonstrated that provocation and
success during the repeated games had a stronger influence
on participants’ choice to reduce money from the opponent
if they had received testosterone. Participants who believed
to be in the testosterone group were angrier after the
experiment and increased monetary reductions during the task
course. In line with theories about mechanisms of
testosterone in humans, provocation is shown to be necessary
for the agency of exogenous testosterone. Thus, testosterone
reinforces the conditional adjustment of aggressive behavior
but not aggressive behavior per se. In contrast undirected
frustration is not increased by testosterone but probably
interferes with cognitive appraisals about biological
mechanisms of testosterone.},
