New study explores testosterone's role in men's romantic misjudgments

Summary

Nutrition label

76% Informative

Researchers found that testosterone heightened men’s sensitivity to specific friendly cues, particularly among men who viewed themselves as more attractive.

Men with lower self-perceived attractiveness did not show a stronger response to friendly cues after receiving testosterone.

Men who received testosterone were more likely to interpret friendly cues as romantic interest if they were also interested in a connection with her.

Study found testosterone likely plays a role in generating overperception, particularly among men who think of themselves as being attractive, and increases the tendency to project one’s own interest.

Study only provided a single dose of testosterone, limiting conclusions about the long-term effects of testosterone on social perception.
