People with high testosterone levels end up being bigger jerks than people with low testosterone levels.
A recent study out of HEC Montréal complicates previous research linking high T-levels with business success by linking the hormone with unethical behavior in sexual scenarios.
The study focused on 83 men and 91 women who were asked to provide saliva samples to test testosterone levels, and then answer a series of questions about how they felt when romantically pursuing someone of the opposite sex who was also being pursued by someone else of their same sex.
A study published in the British Journal of Psychology found a correlation between high testosterone levels and willingness to engage in unethical behavior when two or more men are vying for one woman's attention.
The correlation between testosterone and unethical behavior was not found for the men in the control section of the studies who were asked about their laundry preferences.
The concept that men will behave more aggressively and less ethically when trying to win a woman is a classic idea, and one that the GEC Montréal study doesn't focus on.
The jury is still out on whether high T-levels are related to being unable to return a text message.
Testosterone levels in men are linked to unethical behavior in response to sexual competition.
The study found that people are sexist to female robots.
