METHODS/PROCEDURES

• With testosterone, then they were shown pictures of faces
• That were either angry, happy, or neutral. Each face also
• Had colors to help enhance the message of emotion.

FINDINGS

• The people who received testosterone stared at the
• Angry faces longer than the placebo group which is an
• Aggressive move. They also found that none of the participants
• Recognize the faces so it means it was a subconscious reaction
• While viewing the pictures. Also none of the participants said their mood changed

INTERESTING FACTS

• The participants couldn't tell they were becoming more aggressive.
• They weren't aware that they were making hostile movements
• And body language.
