this study suggests that low testosterone levels correlated with an increase in selfishness, aggression and violent punishments towards others.
What was the method of Ackermann's experiment?
The pictures comprised two sets (Set 1 and Set 2) of 48 neutral, positive, negative pictures with 24 scrambled pictures. Additionally, four pictures showing neutral objects were presented to control for primacy and recency effects (two pictures were shown in the beginning of the presentation, the other two at the end). These pictures were not included in the analysis.

The pictures comprised two sets (Set 1 and Set 2) of 24 positive, 24 negative, and 24 neutral pictures interleaved with 24 scrambled pictures. Additionally, four pictures showing neutral objects were presented to control for primacy and recency effects

What was the evaluation of Ackermann's experiment?
This was quite a big age range and it would be good to compare with other studies
Each person’s increase or decrease in cortisol was measured individually against their basal level. The differences in recall therefore related to a decrease from that person’s norm and not an average across the whole group.
This situation occurs naturally in the real life
There were some deceptions but the informed consents were signed by the participants. This study is replicable.
