PolyU research reveals neurocognitive correlates of testosterone in young men that shape generosity and self-worth

Social discounting task. In each trial, participants viewed social distance information (8 levels, ranging from 1 to 100) regarding the other person, followed by two choice options. One option was generous (both the participant and the other person receive CNY 130), and the other option was selfish (the participant receives a typically larger amount of money alone; nine levels, ranging from CNY 130 to CNY 290).
