[QUOTE="Jasen Bruce, post: 16295, member: 14"] Great study! I believe signs of increased aggression correlated with high testosterone occurs in men with a lower IQ, or low cognitive ability. Men with normal (avg) and higher IQs tend to experience enhanced cognitive ability and risk taking with higher levels of testosterone. For many men as they age, a significant decrease in hormone function can cause emotional and psychological symptoms which are alleviated when administered hormone replacement, therefore improving emotional and psychological states (and reducing risk of aggression). Here is one study abstract which may show a correlation between testosterone levels and increased aggression in boys with lower cognitive ability. It would be interesting to see how they measured testosterone and what the respective levels were. [B]Testosterone, intelligence and behavior disorders in youngboys [/B] Susan E. Chancea, Ronald T.
