Abstract

Understanding emotions in males is crucial given their higher susceptibility to substance use, interpersonal violence, and suicide compared to females. Steroid hormones are assumed to be critical biological factors that affect and modulate emotion-related behaviors, together with psychological and social factors. This review explores whether males‘ abilities to recognize emotions of others and regulate their own emotions are associated with testosterone, cortisol, and their interaction. Higher levels of testosterone were associated with improved recognition and heightened sensitivity to threatening faces. In contrast, higher cortisol levels positively impacted emotion regulation ability. Indirect evidence from neuroimaging research suggested a link between higher testosterone levels and difficulties in cognitive emotion regulation. However, this notion must be investigated in future studies using different emotion regulation strategies and considering social status. The present review contributes to the understanding of how testosterone and cortisol affect psychological well-being and emotional behavior in males.

男性的情绪识别和调节:性别和应激类固醇的作用
与女性相比,男性更容易使用药物、发生人际暴力和自杀,因此了解男性的情绪至关重要。类固醇激素被认为是影响和调节情绪相关行为的关键生物因素,同时也是心理和社会因素。本研究探讨了男性识别他人情绪和调节自身情绪的能力是否与睾酮、皮质醇及其相互作用有关。睾酮水平越高,识别能力越强,对威胁性面孔的敏感度也越高。相反,皮质醇水平越高,情绪调节能力越强。神经影像学研究的间接证据表明,睾酮水平较高与认知情绪调节困难之间存在联系。然而,这一观点必须在未来的研究中通过使用不同的情绪调节策略和考虑社会地位加以研究。本综述有助于了解睾酮和皮质醇如何影响男性的心理健康和情绪行为。
