SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Investigating associations between cortisol, testosterone and emotion regulation in healthy young men.
Abstract summarizedQuality not appraised
- What was studied
- An observational experiment examined whether baseline cortisol and testosterone relate to how effectively men reinterpret negative emotional images.
- Who / model studied
- There were 137 male participants. They either viewed images passively or reinterpreted them, then rated emotional negativity. Hormones were measured in saliva before the task.
- Studied dose & schedule
- Dose and schedule have not yet been extracted for this summary.
- What the study found
- Higher cortisol was associated with less negativity among men who habitually used reinterpretation. Testosterone showed no clear association, either alone or in the tested interactions.
- Limitations & context
- The cortisol association was small and appeared only with low-intensity images.
