In an experimental design, we manipulated disagreement about values versus resources (N = 36). We investigated, using male participants, how the nature of the conflict affects testosterone and cortisol changes. We hypothesized a testosterone increase in response to disagreement about resources, but no increase when values were at stake. Results corroborated this idea. This research illustrates how psychological factors affect neuroendocrine and coping responses to social stressors and conflict.

应对冲突：应对价值与资源分歧的男性中睾丸激素和皮质醇的变化

在实验设计中，我们处理了关于价值与资源的分歧（N  =  36）。我们使用男性参与者调查了冲突的性质如何影响睾丸激素和皮质醇的变化。我们假设睾丸激素的增加是由于对资源的分歧而引起的，但是当价值受到威胁时却没有增加。结果证实了这一想法。这项研究说明了心理因素如何影响神经内分泌以及应对社会压力和冲突的反应。
