Is this still scientific news?

We have sort of established that testosterone amplifies risk taking, aggressiveness and desire for social dominance. So of course status goods?

(Not a snark comment. Asking a CS/Math graduate.)

From the abstract “... testosterone increases positive attitudes toward positional goods when they are described as status-enhancing, but not when they are described as power-enhancing or high in quality.”

I would think power-enhancing things would improve one’s ability to achieve social dominance, but the effect they uncovered here seems to be even more crude and instead only has effect on stimulating a desire for immediate “improved” perception.

I'm not sure what this means. I thought status was a power-enhancing attribute. And that that was the reason people want it.

Even this article, you manage to inject politics into. That's unfortunate.

You will be disheartened to know that many non-propecia-taking men and women outside the blue bubble agree with many of his policies.
