有证据表明，激素可以调节孕产妇护理的强度。催产素因其对母亲行为的积极影响及其对分娩的重要作用而闻名。相反，睾丸激素会促进以自我为中心的选择并减少同理心。此外，在为人父母期间，睾丸激素会减少，这可能是对父母投资增加的适应。本研究调查了睾酮和催产素在注意力控制中的相互作用及其对女性对婴儿图式注意力的影响。较高的内源性睾丸激素预计会减少在人群中面对儿童肖像的选择性注意，而催产素预计会抵消这种影响。正如预测的那样，唾液睾酮水平较高的女性在成人干扰因素的背景下将注意力转移到婴儿目标上的速度较慢。有趣的是，施用催产素后，婴儿和成人对刺激的反应时间缩短，但仅限于内源性睾酮水平较高的女性。这些结果表明，催产素可以抵消睾酮对社会行为和产妇护理的核心方面的不利影响。
Evidence indicates that hormones modulate the intensity of maternal care. Oxytocin is known for its positive influence on maternal behavior and its important role for childbirth. In contrast, testosterone promotes egocentric choices and reduces empathy. Further, testosterone decreases during parenthood which could be an adaptation to increased parental investment. The present study investigated the interaction between testosterone and oxytocin in attentional control and their influence on attention to baby schema in women. Higher endogenous testosterone was expected to decrease selective attention to child portraits in a face-in-the-crowd-paradigm, while oxytocin was expected to counteract this effect. As predicted, women with higher salivary testosterone were slower in orienting attention to infant targets in the context of adult distractors. Interestingly, reaction times to infant and adult stimuli decreased after oxytocin administration, but only in women with high endogenous testosterone. These results suggest that oxytocin may counteract the adverse effects of testosterone on a central aspect of social behavior and maternal caretaking.
