• The Physiology of Moral Sentiments (2011, unknown): “…work had already shown that oxytocin was associated with prosocial behaviors such as trust and trustworthiness (Zak et al., 2004, 2005b; Kosfeld et al., 2005), and our recent research has shown that OT affects other virtues such as generosity and sacrifice (Zak et al., 2007; Morhenn et al., 2008).”

• Coevolution of Composite‐Tool Technology, Constructive Memory, and Language (2010, background): “Conventional trust-game experiments show that massage significantly increased oxytocin if it was followed by an intentional act of trust and that generosity was positively correlated with increase in oxytocin (Morhenn et al. 2008).”
