催产素增强的亲社会行为取决于个人特征。这项研究调查了催产素和竞争力之间的关系，竞争力是另一个重要的社会特征，可以预测经济和社会成果。在这项对192名男性参与者进行的双盲、随机和安慰剂对照研究中，我们研究了催产素是否会调节竞争力，以及催产素对竞争力的影响是否会在自闭症患者中被放大。虽然我们的研究结果表明催产素和竞争力之间没有关系，但我们观察到了暗示性的模式：尽管不显着，催产素降低和增强了没有自闭症特征的参与者和具有自闭症特征的参与者之间的竞争力。
Oxytocin-enhanced prosocial behaviour depends on individual characteristics. This study investigated the relationship between oxytocin and competitiveness, which is another important social trait and predicts economic and social outcomes. In this double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled study of 192 male participants, we examined whether oxytocin moderates competitiveness and whether the effect of oxytocin on competitiveness is amplified in individuals with autistic traits. While our results show no relationship between oxytocin and competitiveness, we observed suggestive patterns: albeit not significantly, oxytocin reduced and enhanced competitiveness among participants without autistic traits and among their counterparts with autistic traits, respectively.
