Overall, discussions reflect strong consensus and curiosity, exemplified by posts referencing the exact methodology, such as the use of the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), and statements highlighting testosterone's effects on logic and decision-making. The tone varies from scientific and analytical to casual and humorous, but all show a focus on the potential influence of hormones on cognition and behavior.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions support the findings, emphasizing that testosterone reduces cognitive reflection, with words like 'evidence' and references to the study to reinforce agreement.
InterestHigh interest
Participants show high interest, citing the specific study, mentioning the CRT test, and discussing implications on behavior and decision-making.
EngagementHigh engagement
Posts include detailed references to the methodology, such as the number of participants and the cognitive test used, indicating deep engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
While there is acknowledgment of the study's importance, some posts are more speculative or humorous, signaling moderate perceived impact rather than revolutionary change.
Abstract in brief
Testosterone administration in men impairs their cognitive reflection, meaning they are less able to override intuitive but incorrect answers on decision-making tasks.
The study involved 243 men who received either testosterone or a placebo, and those who received testosterone scored lower on the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), even when accounting for various factors like age, mood, and other hormones.
These results suggest that testosterone may influence human judgment and decision-making by reducing cognitive reflection, providing a potential explanation for its links to aggression and impulsivity.]
Fun fact: when given extra testosterone (T), college men get the wrong answer (ball=$.10 in the original version) 15% more often
Theory: T creates overconfidence, disables “system 2“ proofreader

@Dirrn @Jenkapet En Referent granskad studie visar att män är svårare att övertala pga. Främst testosteron. Därför används inte europeiska män med utländska kvinnor.

@chrismiller88 @zis_nz @PLSgetserious If you think I have a "disdain for masculinity," you've really not been paying attention.
Facts are facts. Masculinity is an important aspect of human society. High testosterone impairs decision making and confers associated evolutionary advantage.

@gua_s @bread_treats @molly0xFFF It's not "gender studies" nor something that you need to "pull" out of anyhere (like that post). Men were literally tested on tasks while on different levels of testosterone, and it was shown that higher levels made them worse at making logical decisions:

High testosterone is linked to less thinking. It's an hormone that makes you act like an animal. Pure instinct. You call that smart?
Was just thinking about this study again. No reason, really. https://t.co/WhlF30t8MR

@gidin @mollycrockett 2. https://t.co/IJp775ypPv paper on testosterone
Why?
Shows importance of large N and tackling a hard problem with extraordinary effort. Details of treatment matter.
Why would T cause mental overconfidence? Students have to speculate about adaptation, link to aggression, etc.
