Summary
The investigators are interested in the impact of intranasal oxytocin in unethical behavior.
Detailed description
The objective of this project is to further explore the role of oxytocin in moral judgment and ethical behavior. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone produced in a variety of hypothalamic neurons. It is released into the brain or brought into general circulation through sensory stimuli in a pulsatile fashion. In social psychology research, oxytocin is hypothesized to coordinate both the causes and effects of positive social interactions in a biofeedback loop.
