Examined cardiovascular and testosterone responses of dominant and submissive women to an acute stressor involving contested dominance. Twenty (10 dominant, 10 submissive) university students rated their dominance to a predefined reference group, participated in a task that involved debating with a trained technician, and were continuously provided with bogus feedback throughout the task concerning biochemical substances in their blood that purportedly covaried with dominance. Covariance analyses revealed that dominant women were much more reactive to the stressor in several cardiovascular parameters than those classified as submissive. Serum testosterone did not vary as a function of the experimental manipulation, and at each measurement point, dominant and submissive subjects had essentially identical serum levels of this hormone. Interestingly, however, baseline testosterone for the dominant group was related to changes in systolic blood pressure (i.e., gain scores computed as task response minus baseline values).
研究了处于支配地位和顺从地位的女性对涉及支配权争夺的急性应激源的心血管和睾酮反应。二十名（10名支配型、10名顺从型）大学生对自己相对于一个预先定义的参照群体的支配程度进行评分，参与一项与一名训练有素的技术人员进行辩论的任务，并在整个任务过程中持续得到关于其血液中据称与支配程度相关的生化物质的虚假反馈。协方差分析显示，在几个心血管参数方面，支配型女性对压力源的反应比被归类为顺从型的女性强烈得多。血清睾酮并未随实验操作而变化，并且在每个测量点，支配型和顺从型受试者的这种激素血清水平基本相同。然而，有趣的是，支配型组的基线睾酮与收缩压的变化有关（即，增益分数计算为任务反应减去基线值）。
