Abstract

whether or not trait affiliation correlates with human behaviour needs investigating. one should be careful generalizing neuropsychological mechanisms for affiliation, and generalizing an analysis based on one or two neuropsychological mechanisms and mostly studies on rodents, to complex human social interactions. serotonin is an example of a neurotransmitter playing an important role in cooperation and interacting with the dopaminergic system.
