Testosterone, in particular, appears to decrease feeling of trust. It had been assumed so far that testosterone made us less trusting because it made us better at spotting cheaters. This paper, however, suggests that testosterone makes us bluntly suspicious of everyone -- trustworthy and untrustworthy persons all the same. Prenatal exposition to testosterone (tracked by the relative lengths of index and ring fingers) predicted the way individuals trust 20 years after: Subjects with high prenatal exposure trusted less, but their ability to spot cheaters was the same as anybody else. date: 2013-04 date_type: published publisher: The Royal Society id_number: 10.1098/rsbl.2013.0037 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/26860 faculty: tse divisions: tse divisions: CRM language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1098/rsbl.2013.0037 view_date_year: 2013 full_text_status: none publication: Biology Letters volume: vol. 9 number: n° 2 refereed: TRUE issn: 1744-9561 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:26860 harvester_local_overwrite: divisions harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: oai_set harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: id_number harvester_local_overwrite: doi harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn oai_lastmod: 2024-04-15T14:58:10Z oai_set: tse oai_set: ut1c site: ut1 citation: Bonnefon, Jean-François , De Neys, Wim and Hopfensitz, Astrid (2013) Low second-to-fourth digit ratio predicts indiscriminate social suspicion, not improved trustworthiness detection.
