目的 青春期的特点是孤独、冲动和循环睾酮水平的增加。我们调查了青春期女性这些特征之间的关系。 方法 为了这个目的，我们测量冲动和孤独的一个去/不去的任务和加州大学洛杉矶分校的孤独量表，分别。通过酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）测量唾液中的睾酮水平。 结果 结果表明，睾酮和孤独感与青春期女性的冲动性呈正相关，而孤独感与睾酮水平无关。 结论 这些结果表明，睾酮和孤独通过独特的途径调节冲动。
OBJECTIVE Adolescence is characterized by increases in loneliness, impulsiveness and circulating testosterone levels. We investigated the relationship between these characteristics in adolescent females. METHODS For this purpose, we measured impulsivity and loneliness by means of a Go/No-go task and the UCLA loneliness scale, respectively. Testosterone levels in saliva were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). RESULTS The results showed that testosterone and loneliness have a positive relevance to impulsivity in adolescent females, whereas there was no relationship between loneliness and testosterone levels. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that testosterone and loneliness modulate impulsivity via distinctive pathways.
