Tryptophan and charity

Tryptophan and charity

Research indicates that serotonin plays an important role in prosocial behavior and is negatively correlated to antisocial behavior. Prosocial behavior can be reduced by lowering serotonin levels through tryptophan depletion and increased by tryptophan supplementation. This research investigates whether or not tryptophan promotes charitable donating.

The results confirm this hypothesis.
