The impact of betrayal trauma on the tendency to trust. (2014, result): “…other researchers have used variations of the Trust Game involving anonymous interactions among partners, these investigations differed from the current study in that participants were told whether they were playing with a computer or a human partner (e.g., Zak, 2008; Baumgartner et al., 2008).”
The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, positive): “…in male subjects (Baumgartner et al. 2008, Domes et al. 2007, Kirsch et al. 2005, Petrovic et al. 2008, Singer et al. 2008) although not in women (Domes et al. 2010), and others have shown that OT also increases behavioral expressions of trust (Baumgartner et al. 2008, Kosfeld et al. 2005).”

A common allele in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) impacts prosocial temperament and human hypothalamic-limbic structure and function (2010, background): “Though the anatomical localization of functional effects in the amygdala is consistent with previous OT challenge studies (14, 15) and our own prior imaging genetics work on neuropeptide receptor variants (30), no unitary directionality in neuropeptide-related susceptibility effects are apparent.”
Adult attachment predicts maternal brain and oxytocin response to infant cues (2009, methodology): “…of this neuropeptide in mediating attachment and social behaviors, as seen in human randomized placebo-controlled trials of intranasal oxytocin (Baumgartner et al, 2008; Guastella et al, 2008b), as well as in rodent studies (Insel and Young, 2001; Champagne et al, 2001; Insel, 1992; Liu and…”

Oxytocin and vasopressin in the human brain: social neuropeptides for translational medicine (2011, background): “A subsequent study investigated whether OXT modulates trusting behaviour in response to a betrayal of trus”
Oxytocin Enhances Amygdala-Dependent, Socially Reinforced Learning and Emotional Empathy in Humans (2010, methodology): “In humans, OT enhances inference of emotional states (Domes et al., 2007a) as well as trust in (Kosfeld et al., 2005; Baumgartner et al., 2008) and generosity toward (Zak et al., 2007) others, suggesting that OT has empathogenic properties and could influence behavior in the context of social…”
On the Economics and Biology of Trust (2009, positive): “The interpretation that trust taking involves neurophysiological mechanisms (or neural activity) beyond those needed to account for risk and ambiguity preferences received further support in a follow-up study (Baumgartner et al. 2008). This study examines the differences in the neural circuitry invo”
Evidential Diversity and the Triangulation of Phenomena (2016, background): “…as perceived unfair playÞ by directly modulating the affective responses—for example, by administering benzodiazepine ðGospic et al. 2011Þ or oxytocin ðBaumgartner et al. 2008Þ to experimental subjects—reduces the chance that the observed behavior is caused by something other than the intended…”
