Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

Cross-culturally, men's T declines in response to pairbonding and fatherhood, but less is known about what happens to T during and after life history transitions that theoretically lead to renewed mating effort.

METHODS:

We used demographic, behavioral, and salivary hormone data (waking and pre-bed T) collected in 2009 and 2014 for the
