Abstract

This study examined the relationship between paternal testosterone (T) and infant salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) reactivity. Our aim was to determine whether paternal T was positively related to infant sympathetic nervous system (SNS) regulation and development. No evidence was found for a significance between paternal T and infant sAA reactivity.
