Deep dives

Testosterone and Political Opinions

Research indicates that higher testosterone levels in men are associated with stronger and more forceful political opinions. This suggests that elevated testosterone might contribute to a greater intensity in political discourse, as emotionally charged stances become commonplace. Furthermore, this correlation hints at a physical basis for political polarization, potentially explaining why certain political protests, such as January 6th, saw a strong, assertive response from participants. The study serves to reinforce the notion that biological factors can play a significant role in shaping political attitudes and behaviors.
