  • Past, Present, and Future of Human Chemical Communication Research

    Open AccessHelene M Loos, Benoist Schaal et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2025

    Although chemical signaling is an essential mode of communication in most vertebrates, it has long been viewed as having negligible effects in humans. However, a growing body of evidence shows that the sense of smell affects human behavior in social contexts ranging from affiliation and parenting to disease avoidance and social threat. This article aims to (a) introduce research on human chemical communication in the historical context of the beh…

  • Disgust sensitivity relates to affective responses to – but not ability to detect – olfactory cues to pathogens

    Open AccessJoshua M Tybur, Ilja Croijmans et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2022

    Hundreds of studies have assessed variation in the degree to which people experience disgust toward substances associated with pathogens, but little is known about the mechanistic sources of this variation. The current investigation uses olfactory perception and threshold methods to test whether it is apparent at the cue-detection level, at the cue-interpretation level, or both. It further tests whether relations between disgust sensitivity and o…

  • Placebo Effects in the Neuroendocrine System: Conditioning of the Oxytocin Responses

    Open AccessAleksandrina Skvortsova, Dieuwke S Veldhuijzen et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2020

    OBJECTIVE: There is evidence that placebo effects may influence hormone secretion. However, few studies have examined placebo effects in the endocrine system, including oxytocin placebo effects. We studied whether it is possible to trigger oxytocin placebo effects using a classical conditioning paradigm. METHODS: Ninety-nine women were assigned to a conditioned, control, or drug control group. In the two-phase conditioning paradigm, participants …

  • Positive Body Image and Sexual Functioning in Dutch Female University Students: The Role of Adult Romantic Attachment

    Open AccessFemke Van Den Brink, Monique A M Smeets et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2016Cited by: 4References: 56

    This study focused on links between romantic attachment, positive body image, and sexual functioning. Dutch female university students (N = 399) completed an online survey that included self-report items about body appreciation, sexual functioning, and romantic attachment. A proposed conceptual model was tested using structural equation modeling and a good fit to the data was found. Results revealed that attachment avoidance in a romantic context…

  • Body Satisfaction and Sexual Health in Dutch Female University Students

    Femke Van Den Brink, Monique A M Smeets et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2012Cited by: 4References: 10

    Studies in the field of body image have primarily addressed its negative aspects, such as body dissatisfaction. The present study focused instead on women who are satisfied with their bodies and on how body satisfaction relates to sexual health. A sample of 319 Dutch female university students completed an online survey that included items about body image evaluation, body image investment, overweight preoccupation, body image affect during sexua…
