Abstract
It is unknown how oxytocin affects older adults’ social decision making processes. Older and younger adults’ performances were compared in a Trust/Lottery game as a function of intranasal oxytocin (or placebo) administration. Results indicate that older adults showed more trust after betrayal. This effect was not moderated by oxytocin administration.
