Abstract

L-Tryptophan (TRP, the biochemical precursor of 5-HT) consumption produces changes in mood, decision-making behaviors, and interpersonal trust. This study assessed if such physiologically-based results could be replicated with scent administration on community service participation attitudes. Jasmine scent administration increased the positive and decreased the negative connotations of community service.
