Exploring the hormonal and neural correlates of paternal protective behavior to their infants. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the psychobiology of paternal protection in new fathers, combining neural responses, self-reported behaviors, and hormonal measurements to understand how biology influences protective actions.
  • It involved 77 new fathers and utilized fMRI to analyze brain activity in response to infant-threatening scenarios, revealing key brain networks involved in this processing.
  • Findings showed minimal correlation between observed and reported protective behaviors, indicating a lack of strong connections between biological factors like testosterone and vasopressin and paternal protective actions.

Article Abstract

Infant protection is an important but largely neglected aspect of parental care. Available theory and research suggest that endocrine levels and neural responses might be biological correlates of protective behavior. However, no research to date examined associations between these neurobiological and behavioral aspects. This study, preregistered on https://osf.io/2acxd, explored the psychobiology of paternal protection in 77 new fathers by combining neural responses to infant-threatening situations, self-reported protective behavior, behavioral observations in a newly developed experimental set-up (Auditory Startling Task), and measurements of testosterone and vasopressin. fMRI analyses validated the role of several brain networks in the processing of infant-threatening situations and indicated replicable findings with the infant-threat paradigm. We found little overlap between observed and reported protective behavior. Robust associations between endocrine levels, neural responses, and paternal protective behavior were absent.
