Scientists uncover disturbing effect of testosterone on men's view of conservatively dressed women

A recent study published in Psychoneuroendocrinology offers new insights into how testosterone influences men’s perceptions of women.

Testosterone has been linked to social behaviors, including aggression and sexual impulsivity.

While sexualized women are often dehumanized based on appearance, elevated testosterone levels also lead men to dehumanize women dressed conservatively, even in the absence of sexualization cues.

If a target woman was sexualized, men engaged in emotion-based dehumanization toward her regardless of their testosterone levels.

Men only engaged in this form of dehumanization when their testosterone was elevated by a single dose of intranasal testosterone.

In addition, testosterone did not affect the other two forms of dehumanization.
