Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bonding is correlated with levels of oxytocin, also known as the "cuddle hormone". Oxytocin is released during social bonding activities such as hugging, kissing, and having conversations with loved ones. It is thought to play a role in social bonding, trust, and attachment. While testosterone and estradiol are hormones that are important for sexual function and behavior, they are not directly correlated with bonding. Vasopressin, another hormone often linked to social bonding, is primarily associated with monogamous mating behavior in certain species and may have a role in human bonding, but oxytocin is thought to be a more significant factor in human bonding overall.
