Scenario II
Scenario II presents fabricated data inspired by the following study:

The researchers measured the distance men kept from the woman and hypothesized that shorter distances indicated interest in her. The results showed that the distance between the men and women differed based on the treatment men received. Specifically, committed men who received OXT kept a significantly greater distance from the woman compared with not only committed men who received the placebo, but also single men who received either the placebo or OXT. This study suggests that OXT may contribute to monogamy in males.
