Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main study parameters/endpoints: The main outcome is stress reactivity (self-reported stress and physiological reactivity) during the Trier social stress test and Cold pressor test, as a function of oxytocin and social support status. Oxytocin is hypothesized to moderate the stress-buffering effects of social support. Another endpoint is interpersonal distance (distance between participant and a virtual person)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Other moderators of the effect of oxytocin include attachment, parenting styles and autonomy-connectedness.
