Oxytocin, also known as the “trust hormone”, is a hormone which is produced naturally in the human brain. Recent studies have begun to investigate Oxytocin’s role in various behaviors, including social recognition, bonding, anxiety, trust, sexual arousal and maternal behaviors. Oxytocin greatly influences “prosocial approach behavior.” In other words, Oxytocin actually increases a person’s willingness to approach others and to trust them unquestionably.
