Generosity quiz.Testosterone reduces generosity through cortical and subcortical mechanisms
Abstract
Recent evidence has linked testosterone, a major sex hormone, to selfishness in economic decision-making. Here, we aimed to investigate the neural mechanisms through which testosterone reduces generosity by combining functional MRI with pharmacological manipulation among healthy young males in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, between-subject design. After testosterone or placebo gel administration, participants performed a social discounting task in which they chose between selfish options (benefiting only the participant) and generous options (providing also some benefit to another person at a particular social distance). At the behavioral level, testosterone reduced generosity compared to the placebo. At the neural level (n = 60), the temporoparietal junction (TPJ) encoded the other-regarding value of the generous option during generous choices, and this effect was attenuated by testosterone, suggesting that testosterone reduced the consideration of other's welfare as underpinned by TPJ activity. Moreover, TPJ activity more strongly reflected individual differences in generosity in the placebo than the testosterone group. Furthermore, testosterone weakened the relation between the other-regarding value of generous decisions and connectivity between the TPJ and a region extending from the insula into the striatum. Together, these findings suggest that a network encompassing both cortical and subcortical components underpins the effects of testosterone on social preferences.

Did not read the entire posts but I can see how the thread title is true. High test people work hard for what they earn....giving money to homeless/lazy people is considered generous to most peasants. But high test people see that as rewarding bad behavior so they don't do it. But giving money to someone who has fallen on bad times is a totally different story (family who's main bread winner passes away suddenly).

That's a globohomo propaganda study.
Masculine men are going to be the most generous.
Men are the ones who will give up their life to save other people. You can see that in the military, police, firemen, and even family men.
Men will give up their happiness to take care of kids and women. So, dad is the problem solver and provider.
I have noticed on my own that homeless people will ask the biggest guy on the street for help. The same thing for women who are in trouble.
In this fake study they use "testosterone gel" and I know how gear works, it takes about a week to really get going in your system. So, rubbing some test gel on a person is NOT going to change their entire psychology. The person already has a huge and complex personality by the time the study started and some test is not going to change that.
It's a biased and fake study.If you want to ask me a question:

"I am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym; I'm getting the feeling of cumming at home; I'm getting the feeling of cumming backstage; when I pump up, when I pose out in front of 5000 people I get the same feeling, so I am cumming day and night. It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."
