trust is a temporary attachment between humans that pervades our daily lives. recent research has shown that the affiliative hormone oxytocin rises with a social signal of interpersonal trust and is associated with trustworthy behavior (the reciprocation of trust). this commentary reports these results and relates them to the target article's findings for variations in affiliative-related behaviors.
