Very cool! So it's an ingroup bias hormone that also mediates trust of ingroup.
Does this tend to indicate that people who are more tribal, who have a stronger ingroup bias, who have fierce team loyalties in sports, who are normies with political affiliations, tend to have a stronger sensitivity to oxytocin or higher levels of it?
I would imagine that this is also potentially mediated or varied by sensitivity/depth of processing, testosterone, and temperament.
Like I believe higher testosterone tends to turn on thinking independently so that the ingroups and outgroups are identified in a way more conducive to survival, and such that behavior can be handled rationally rather than with callous dismissal and hostility or blind trust. Being less of a dick and not trusting but verifying. Courage to face the unknown can come from testosterone or from a natural curiosity in one's temperament and values, and is a moral trait that is ultimately much more advantageous for the group and for individual prosperity, I would think.
I don't know much about testosterone, but what you are describing, 'the leadership hormone', is serotonin.
As it was explained to me:
