| Oxytocin: Chemical Basis of Trust Posted by Michael E. Marotta on 6/01, 7:32pm | ||
| (This is important. Trust me.) "Of 29 subjects who got oxytocin, 45 percent invested the maximum amount of 12 monetary units and, in the researchers' words, showed "maximal trust." Only 21 percent had a lower trust level in which they invested less than 8 monetary units. In contrast, the placebo group's trust behavior was reversed. Only 21 percent of the placebo subjects invested the maximum, while 45 percent invested at low levels." So, we will be able to spray something in the air and generate trust among strangers. Perhaps this is one of the links to understanding collectivism and altruism. Are egoists inherently non-trusting? It would seem so, but perhaps that is too easy a claim. | ||
