“His research has made a substantial impact in explaining the variation in human social behaviors and has been cited by other scholars over 18,000 times placing in the top 0.3% of all scholars,” explains his professional biography.

"Our results demonstrate that testosterone induces a “red shift” among weakly-affiliated Democrats."

"When weakly affiliated Democrats received additional testosterone, the strength of their party fell by 12 percent and they reported 45 percent warmer feelings towards Republican candidates for president."

"Before the testosterone treatment, we found that weakly affiliated Democrats had 19 percent higher basal testosterone than those who identified strongly with the party,” the study continues, reiterating the correlation between individuals with lower testoreone having left-wing political beliefs."

"Our findings provide evidence that neuroactive hormones affect political preferences."

Sounds like a lame study but i only scanned the 1st paragraph

Is all they’re asking people is whether or not they like trump?

Neuroscience is lame?

You should read the whole thing and decide for yourself if that's in there, hint: it's not.

I regret using the word lame. I respect any honest study. I’m just weary that this is more Rhetoric that will cast more shade on the male gender.

what about males with naturally high testosterone?
Or females with naturally high testosterone?

were their statistical political leanings compared to the group that was given the synthetic drugs?

I wasn’t doubting the existence of the study, just weary that readers might jump to conclusions about the political leanings of people with naturally high testerone, which the first paragraph doesn’t seem to reference people with naturally high testosterone.

Thanks for clarifying your stance, but you didn't have to. My post was directed at the OP. You brought up a very good point.

Funny shit. I remember reading about a study where estrogen treatment was given to trump supporters.

After the treatment, they were still stupid as fuck.
