Abstract
Oxytocin—not always a moral molecule
Highlights
Oxytocin is a small neuropeptide that has long been implicated in mating and reproductive functions
The other side of the coin: oxytocin decreases the adherence to fairness norms by Radke, S., and De Bruijn, E
An interesting and elegant study in this journal addressed how oxytocin modifies the adherence to fairness norms when subjects played an ultimatum (UG) and a dictator game (DG) with anonymous interactors (Radke and De Bruijn, 2012)
Summary
Oxytocin is a small neuropeptide that has long been implicated in mating and reproductive functions. The other side of the coin: oxytocin decreases the adherence to fairness norms by Radke, S., and De Bruijn, E. An interesting and elegant study in this journal addressed how oxytocin modifies the adherence to fairness norms when subjects played an ultimatum (UG) and a dictator game (DG) with anonymous interactors (Radke and De Bruijn, 2012).
