Competition-related testosterone, cortisol, and perceived personal success in recreational women athletes
2017, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Among women competing individually (but not as a team), basal T is positively related to performance on an analytical reasoning test (Mehta et al., 2009). Thus, some consider basal T to be an important “personality variable,” operating outside of conscious awareness – one that predicts status-related behavior in various contexts and has increased predictive validity above and beyond self-reported dominance (Newman and Josephs, 2009; Sellers, Mehl, & Josephs, 2007). However, the relationship between T and competitive performance may be moderated by social context – high T individuals appear to perform worse (e.g., on a spatial or verbal test) when placed in a low status position (Josephs et al., 2003, 2006; Mehta et al., 2008; Newman et al., 2005).
Gonads and strife: Sex hormones vary according to sexual orientation for women and stress indices for both sexes
2016, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Although purely speculative, the lack of visual social-evaluative threat might decrease testosterone among men and could be explored further in the stress reactivity literature. Given that sex hormones are characterized by situational-dependent release, and are synergized by other biobehavioral functions (Newman and Josephs, 2009; Turan et al., 2014), constitutional factors and social behaviors might modulate sex hormone physiology. For instance, testosterone and cortisol interact to predict aggressive and dominant behaviors (Carré and Mehta, 2011).
Endogenous testosterone and cortisol jointly influence reactive aggression in women
2013, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Endogenous testosterone and cortisol concentrations measured at the same time of day are relatively stable (Liening et al., 2010). These relatively stable hormone profiles explain part of the individual differences in aggressiveness, dominance, and submission (Sellers et al., 2007; Newman and Josephs, 2009). However, testosterone and cortisol concentrations are also responsive to chronic and immediate social experiences.
