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.
