Paul Zak: Tillid, morale -- og oxytocin

Human morality may be rooted in biology, driven by a simple molecule called oxytocin. Experiments show that trust, generosity, and empathy all surge when oxytocin levels rise, whether giving money to strangers or simply receiving a hug. In a study, 90 percent of people entrusted money to someone they could not see, and nearly all recipients returned some, mirroring a spike in oxytocin. Social rituals, touch, and even social media can activate this powerful chemical, revealing just how deeply connection shapes human behavior.
