Neuroendocrine Modulato rs of Social Behavior and Stress Responses in Couples
Co uple relationships have a substantial impact on individual health and longe vity and the stress-buffering mechanisms of social support between partners are hypothesized to mediate this effect. Indeed\, relationship enhancement training reduced stress hormones during a conflict session in the laborato ry\, suggesting that couple interventions can improve health via reduced ps ychobiological stress. On a neurobiological level\, thes e effects might be mediated through activity of the neuropeptide oxytocin. Oxytocin has been related to attachment behavior and stress reduction in an imals and in humans. In line with this\, previous data from our laboratory indicate that intranasal oxytocin modulates communication behavior and cort isol levels during couple conflict. However more recently\, differential ef fects of oxytocin with regard to sex\, social context\, and individual rela tionship experiences have been proposed and mandate a more refined interpre tation of the overall effects of this neuropeptide.
Annu ally the Department of Psychology hosts a Colloquia Series thro ughout the academic year.
