I'm curious -- my understanding of the research done in this field seems to indicate a strong
relationship between testosterone and dominance behaviors, not aggression. The only times that
aggression is associated directly with testosterone are in those instances where aggression is the
preferred method of establishing dominance, i.e. prison populations, adolescents, etc. Comments?
