Some people link high testosterone levels
with antisocial, egotistical, and aggressive
behavior. A study from the University of Zurich in
Switzerland showed that testosterone promoted
cooperative behavior. Researchers gave women
either testosterone or a placebo that the women
thought was testosterone and measured fair
bargaining behavior. A single dose of testosterone
in women increased fair bargaining behavior,
reduced bargaining conflicts, and smoothed social
interactions. Women who took the placebo, but
thought they were getting testosterone, behaved
more unfairly and stubbornly. Testosterone promotes
socialization; its negative reputation is an urban
legend. (Nature, 463: published online)
