PURPOSE: Decision-making is a complex process influenced by factors such as hormone concentration and social hierarchy. This study underlines the intricate interplay between these biological and social factors, emphasizing the necessity of considering both to comprehend the variability in decision-making processes.
METHOD: The present systematic review summarizes and compares included studies that investigate the effect of sex steroid hormones (testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone) on decision-making (risky, uncertain, and social decision-making), and social hierarchy, as well as the effect of hormones and social hierarchy on decision-making.
RESULT: The substantial evidence suggests testosterone's influence on decision-making shows gender-related variations. Endogenous testosterone isn't associated with uncertain choices, but both endogenous and exogenous testosterone correlate with riskier decisions, particularly among males. However, a non-negligible proportion of behavioral experiments revealed an inverse or non-significant association. Regarding social decisions, individuals with higher testosterone levels tended to reject unfair offers. Also, testosterone influences competitive behavior and risk-taking, particularly in victory situations. However, social hierarchy and individual traits like dominance and self-construal can moderate these effects.
CONCLUSION: Evidence exists that testosterone influences risk-taking behavior and social decision-making, with these influences moderated by social hierarchy and dominance traits, whereas estradiol and progesterone research findings are limited and inconsistent. These results underscore the need for rigorous, sex-balanced research designs and careful consideration of both biological and social context when investigating decision-making.
