Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that testosterone levels and rates of violent crime decrease together after age 25, suggesting a hormonal influence on aggression. However, this does not mean that hormonal influences are as strong in humans as they are in lower animals, as other factors such as socialization and cultural norms also play a role in human behavior. Additionally, variations in testosterone levels can have an effect on behavior within the normal range of males, but the exact relationship between testosterone and aggression is complex and not fully understood. Studies have generally found that higher levels of testosterone are associated with increased aggression, not less.
