Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In a double-blind, between-subject, placebo controlled design, investigators plan to investigate the effect of oxytocin treatment on the tolerance of infidelity. Male and female subjects would firstly see a neutral face of the opposite sex presented with a sentence descried their fidelity or infidelity behavior (sexual or emotional) in a relationship.
