Wild Hormones Impact your Behavior | Psych-100 | Chapter 15 | Flourish with Diane Planidin

The goal of this module is to introduce you to the topic of hormones and behavior. This field of study is also called behavioral endocrinology, which is the scientific study of the interaction between hormones and behavior. This interaction is bidirectional: hormones can influence behavior, and behavior can sometimes influence hormone concentrations.

Hormones are chemical messengers released from endocrine glands that travel through the blood system to influence the nervous system to regulate behaviors such as aggression, mating, and parenting of individuals.

- Explain the role of hormones in behavioral sex differentiation.

- Explain the role of hormones in aggressive behavior.
