Abstract
By far, the vast majority of studies concerned with the relationship between hormones and the behaviors that occur in competitive situations—the agonistic behaviors—have been directed toward explaining the ways in which hormones affect those behaviors. However, that relationship really is bidirectional. Not only do hormones affect aggressive and submissive responses, but experiencing agonistic interactions alters the individual’s endocrine characteristics. Those hormonal responses to agonistic experiences are the topic of this discussion.
