What evidence suggests that male zebra finches (a type of bird) sing the most when their blood testosterone or estrogen concentrations are high?

Castrated birds sing less but will resume singing if they are treated with testosterone or estradiol.

Blood levels of testosterone and estradiol are positively correlated with minutes a day spent singing in male zebra finches.

Female zebra finches have lower levels of testosterone and estradiol than male zebra finches do and they sing less often than male zebra finches sing.

The male zebra finches with the largest testicles also sing the most.

Castrated birds sing less but will resume singing if they are treated with testosterone or estradiol.

Which of the following are subject to voluntary control?

hormones

love

endocrine glands

neurotransmitters

neurotransmitters

What do endocrine glands do?

transform neurons into hormones

release hormones into the blood stream

signal the brain to produce hormones

receive hormones that are sent through the blood throughout the body

release hormones into the blood stream

Imagine that you are hiring an employee for a job that requires empathy, and past research has found that a small but reliable difference that shows that women are typically higher on empathy than men. How should this affect who you choose to interview for the job?

You should only interview women because they are all likely to be high in empathy.

You should interview both women and men because the average differences are small and the person with the most empathy that you interview may be a man.

You should only interview men. You can assume that men that apply for the job are probably particularly high in empathy.

You should interview both women and men to be fair but it is much more likely that you will hire a woman.

You should interview both women and men because the average differences are small and the person with the most empathy that you interview may be a man.

chemical substances released at the end of neurons that cause the transfer of impulses to other neurons

organic chemical messengers released from endocrine cells into the blood to cause a response when they reach target cells

organic chemical messengers released from endocrine cells into the blood to cause a response when they reach target cells

What evidence exists showing that hormones directly impact aggressive behavior?

In controlled experiments, men who were randomly assigned to be castrated at birth show lower levels of aggression in adulthood than men who were not randomly assigned to be castrated.

In controlled experiments, adolescent girls who were randomly assigned to be given high levels of testosterone showed higher levels of aggression in adulthood than girls who were not given testosterone.

In controlled experiments, men who were randomly assigned to be castrated at puberty showed lower levels of aggression in adulthood than men who were not randomly assigned to be castrated.

are more difficult to intentionally control

Why are males more likely to experience disorders related to sexual differentiation than females?

more physiological steps are necessary for sexual differentiation in males, creating more possibilities for errors

Males require much higher levels of gonadal hormones than females during puberty, making it easier for males to experience sexual differentiation disorders due to insufficient hormone levels.

They are not. Males and females are equally likely to experience disorders related to sexual differentiation.

Males are the default sex and, as such, are more vulnerable to genetic disorders that affect sexual differentiation.

more physiological steps are necessary for sexual differentiation in males, creating more possibilities for errors

oxytocin

all of the other options are correct

Why is the term "maternal instinct" misleading?

The term "maternal instinct" implies that only mothers are able to rear offspring. However, offspring are often successfully reared by aunts and grandmothers.

Instincts are supposed to be innate responses. However, without the appropriate hormones, new mothers will not nurture and protect their offspring.

The term maternal implies warm and nurturing behavior but the maternal instinct also includes aggressive behavior meant to protect offspring.

The term "maternal instinct" implies that only females and not males can nurture offspring.

Instincts are supposed to be innate responses. However, without the appropriate hormones, new mothers will not nurture and protect their offspring.

You already have one dog and are getting a second dog. You want the two dogs to get along. Should you get a male or female dog? Why?

You should get a female dog. Females of all species are generally less physically aggressive so a female dog will be less likely to attack your existing dog.

You should get a dog that is the same sex as your current dog because physical aggression is less common within sexes than between sexes.

You should get a dog that is a different sex than your current dog because physical aggression is less common between sexes than within sexes.

You should get a male dog. It will establish dominance immediately and then the two dogs will get along.

You should get a female dog. Females of all species are generally less physically aggressive so a female dog will be less likely to attack your existing dog.

desire

All of the other options are correct.

liking

Grover is treated for low sex drive with testosterone but shows little improvement. Why might the treatment have failed to work?
Testosterone is not the correct hormone to use to treat a low sex drive.
Testosterone cannot be administered externally. It needs to be produced within an individual's own body to impact their sex drive.
Grover may not have enough testosterone receptors.
Grover's body may be converting the testosterone to estradiol.

Grover may not have enough testosterone receptors

Why is it inappropriate to refer to androgens as "male hormones" and estrogens as "female hormones"?
Females typically have higher levels of androgens than males do.
Androgens, such as testosterone, are associated with many typically female behaviors such as feeling intense emotions and nurturing offspring.
Testosterone is often converted to estradiol in nerve cells and behaviors typically considered to be masculine may be affected by estradiol.
Males typically have higher levels of estrogens than females do.

Testosterone is often converted to estradiol in nerve cells and behaviors typically considered to be masculine may be affected by estradiol

Do hormones influence behavior?

Generally speaking, hormones change gene expression or cellular function, and affect behavior by increasing the likelihood that specific behaviors occur in the presence of precise stimuli. Hormones achieve this by affecting individuals' sensory systems, central integrators, and/or peripherial effectors.
