I thought this site would be of some help for creating a definition! http://changingminds.org/explanations/trust/what_is_trust.htm --Maddison Frost (discusscontribs) 07:15, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you need a new reference to read through this one seems like a good place to start. “Nave, G., Camerer, C., & McCullough, M. (2015). Does oxytocin increase trust in humans? A critical review of research. Perspectives on Psychological Science, 10(6), 772-789. Doi:10.1177/1745691615600138” if you can’t find it maybe try this link: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/7824/1ff9500638e9e09388fbfacf7197d2f35837.pdf Also this one could also be useful if you want an example of a more practical example. “Bakermans-Kranenburg, M. J., & Van Ijzendoorn, M. H. (2013). Sniffing around oxytocin: review and meta-analyses of trials in healthy and clinical groups with implications for pharmacotherapy. Translational psychiatry, 3(5), e258. doi:10.1038/tp.2013.34” Hope this helps, you’ve picked a really interesting topic :D. --Dom M.S (discusscontribs) 04:40, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I found this article you may find of interest, it discusses a study which investigated specific genes which regulate oxytocin and found they are associated with the friendliness and sociality of young people, particularly higher expressions of the genes = friendlier, which may potentially mean more trusting. It is a recent article and pretty interesting. It may be beneficial for level of trust in friendships and further social relationships. Here is the link to the article: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170822103053.htm. Hope this is helpful, looking forward to seeing where you go with the chapter! --Tahliachristofersen (discusscontribs) 00:12, 2 September 2017 (UTC)-[reply]

Also found another study: oxytocin impairs lie detection between the sexes. Interesting read! Here is the link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28711722. Again, hope it helps! --Tahliachristofersen (discusscontribs) 00:28, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Hey, so I found this article on Oxytocin, Trust and Money (Mikolajczak et al., 2010) and I thought it was interesting to read and may be useful for your book chapter, hopefully it is helpful!--NHP96 (discusscontribs) 08:03, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Heya! Additionally, I found an interesting research article about Oxytocin, vasopressin, and human social behaviour (Heinrichs, von Dawans & Domes, 2009) it is an interesting read and hopefully it helps further your research :) --NHP96 (discusscontribs) 02:05, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Internal links[edit source]

Hi, I noticed you had not yet started your 'see also' section. I found a completed book chapter from the 2013 book on oxytocin and emotion that references your topic in section 3.1. I thought this might be helpful internal link to use for your 'see also' section and to find starter references. Here is the link to the aforementioned book chapter: Oxytocin and Emotion book chapter, 2013

Topic development review and feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks will be available later via Moodle. Keep an eye on Announcements. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title, sub-title, TOC[edit source]

  1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Created
  2. Used effectively

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Well summarised, with some direct links to evidence.
  2. The best links go to direct evidence of the contributions made. View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click compare, and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see the book chapter author guidelines.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Reasonable, basic 3-level heading structure
  2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Make sure to avoid providing too much background/generic material. Instead briefly summarise background concepts and provide wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question posed by the sub-title of chapter. The least important sections are what is oxytocin, what is trust etc. The most important sections in terms of addressing the marking criteria will be What is the effect of oxytocin on trust? and its sub-sections.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations.
  2. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  4. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

Image[edit source]

  1. Excellent

References[edit source]

  1. Good.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Use correct italicisation
    2. Make the dois into active hyperlinks so they can be easily clicked
    3. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Your page is looking very good! However i just moved a few images to stop them from preventing the heading lines meeting the full length of the page. --Maddison Frost (discusscontribs) 05:04, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added a hyperlink to a word I felt need explaining. Only because i used it in my wiki.--Maddison Frost (discusscontribs) 10:33, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
