New Study Reveals Testosterone Heightens Sensitivity to Social Feedback in Young Men

news psychology

A groundbreaking study published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging has revealed that testosterone significantly increases men’s sensitivity to social feedback, reshaping how they experience moment-to-moment self-esteem. The findings promise fresh insights for understanding self-worth, mental health, and social behavior, with potential implications for treatment approaches that resonate in Thai society and beyond (psypost.org).

A team of international scientists set out to unpack testosterone’s intricate role in influencing not just the overall sense of self-worth—what psychologists call “trait self-esteem”—but the more fleeting, variable feelings of self-value known as “state self-esteem.” The research matters deeply for Thai readers, as cultural norms around masculinity, social acceptance, and mental health coverage intersect with emerging scientific understanding, and because mental health struggles linked to low self-esteem, especially among young men, are increasingly noted across Thailand (WHO).

New Study Reveals Testosterone Boosts Men’s Emotional Response to Social Feedback

news psychology

A groundbreaking study has found that testosterone intensifies young men’s emotional reactions to social approval and rejection, reshaping how moment-to-moment self-esteem is formed. The research, published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, sheds new light on the psychological effects of this hormone, offering insights relevant both to mental health treatment and to understanding male vulnerability to social evaluation (PsyPost).

This discovery matters for Thai readers because self-esteem and mental health issues, particularly among men, are pressing concerns in Thailand’s rapidly changing society. In a culture where social harmony and hierarchical relationships often play a central role, understanding how testosterone shapes self-confidence and social behavior may help families, educators, and healthcare professionals better support young Thai men facing emotional challenges.
