Abstract
This study examined how individualism moderates the association between testosterone and closeness. Multi-level modeling revealed that the association between testosterone and closeness is moderated by levels of individualism. Specifically, testosterone is negatively associated with closeness in those high in individualism, but not in those who are low in individualism.
