Summary
The purpose of this research study is to investigate how personality traits and
neuroendocrine systems relate to decision-making patterns in individuals 18-45 years old. The
main question it aims to answer is how neuroendocrine activity impacts decision-making.
This study has two components. First, there will be an online session that participants
complete to consent into the study, complete self-report surveys and a cognitive assessment,
and confirm their eligibility for the second part of the study. If eligible to continue,
participants will complete one in-person experiment session, during which they will complete
self-report measures and a decision-making task. During the in-person session, participants
will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to ingest either a placebo (non-active) or
the combination of hydrocortisone and yohimbine.
