Fathers' oxytocin responses to first holding their newborns: Interactions with testosterone reactivity to predict later parenting behavior and father-infant bonds.
Discussions reflect genuine interest in the biological processes involved in fatherhood, with examples such as claims about biochemical changes and hormonal responses, and challenges to oversimplified narratives. The tone varies from scientific to confrontational, illustrating diverse perspectives on paternal involvement and biological priming in caregiving roles.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the hormonal changes in fathers and support the research findings, though some challenge simplified assumptions about oxytocin and caregiving.
InterestModerate interest
Participants show curiosity about the biological aspects and implications for parenting, with ongoing debates indicating moderate engagement.
EngagementModerate engagement
Users reference scientific concepts, question assumptions, and cite studies, demonstrating a moderate level of thoughtful engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
The discourse influences perspectives on paternal roles and hormonal influences, suggesting a moderate impact on evolving views of fatherhood.
Abstract in brief
The study examined how new fathers' physiological responses—specifically oxytocin, cortisol, and testosterone—during their first contact with their newborns predict their later involvement, caregiving, and bonding behavior.
Results showed that fathers' oxytocin levels increased after holding their infants, regardless of holding type, and variations in hormonal responses, especially the interactions between oxytocin and testosterone, were linked to differences in postpartum fathering behaviors several months later.
Notably, declines in testosterone during infant holding combined with increased oxytocin were associated with greater postpartum involvement and bonding, highlighting the importance of hormonal interactions in shaping paternal engagement.]

@hollowearthterf @TotalElonDeath As always, I think it’s far more complicated than a simple univariate correlation, and a lot more interesting to ask what the complexities of the relationship can tell us about individual differences: https://t.co/1gbLxEwAT8

@robbswallace @2024fighter @_nomadic_soul Fathers also go through biochemical changes. Including increased dopamine/oxytocin. Why are you looking for excuses as to why men shouldn’t be primary caregivers-what about the idea that men are equally suited to be children’s main caregivers offends you?

@mrsarjaybee @OliveTending Do some homework. The idea oxytocin is only released with fathers/children during play is patently false
