Objectives The dual-hormone hypothesis posits that social status is positively related to testosterone levels when cortisol levels are relatively low and negatively related to testosterone levels when cortisol is high. In the present study, we test this hypothesis with Olympic-level women athletes using a novel status-hierarchy generation task that establishes rank-order among teammates along three dimensions: leadership ability, popularity, and skill.

睾丸激素和皮质醇相互作用，以预测奥运级别女运动员的团队内部社会地位等级

目的双激素假说认为，当皮质醇水平较低时，社会地位与睾丸激素水平呈正相关，而当皮质醇水平较高时，社会地位与睾丸激素水平呈负相关。在本研究中，我们使用一种新的地位-层次生成任务，通过在三个维度上建立队友之间的排名顺序：领导能力，知名度和技能，来与奥运会级别的女运动员一起检验这一假设。
