Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explored the role of the hormone oxytocin in 49 emerging adult couples’ communication after sexual activity. Guided by the post sex disclosures model, the findings indicated that post sex oxytocin levels, but not increases in pre to post sex oxytocin, were associated with men's general assessments of the benefits and risks of disclosing after sexual activity (measured separately from the sexual episode). Additionally, women's and men's benefit assessments were positively associated, and their risk assessments were negatively associated, with positive disclosures after sex. The findings offer the first known test of couples’ oxytocin levels during a naturally occurring sexual episode in the home environment and have implications for researchers interested in the links between oxytocin and human behavior.

探索催产素在沟通过程中的作用:对后性披露模型的检验

摘要本研究探讨了催产素在49对新成年夫妇性活动后沟通中的作用。在性行为后披露模型的指导下，研究结果表明，性行为后催产素水平（而不是性行为前后催产素的增加）与男性对性活动后披露的益处和风险的总体评估有关（与性行为分开测量）。此外，女性和男性的收益评估与性行为后的积极披露呈正相关，而他们的风险评估与之呈负相关。这一发现首次对夫妇在家庭环境中自然发生的性行为中的催产素水平进行了测试，并对研究催产素与人类行为之间联系的研究人员产生了启示。
