Scenario II
Scenario II presents fabricated data inspired by the following study:
Scheele, D., Striepens, N., Gunturken, O., et al. (2012) . Oxytocin modulates social distance between males and females. The Journal of Neuroscience, 32(46) , 16074-16079.

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.

This study suggests that OXT may contribute to monogamy in males.
