[[Neuroeconomics]] explain how economists are attempting to understand why humans trust or distrust others by recording physiological measurements during trust experiments.<ref name="The Neuroeconomics of Distrust">{{cite journal|last=Zak|first=Paul J.|author2=Karla Borja|author3=William T.

Subjects were asked to anonymously donate various amounts of money to other anonymous subjects with no guarantee of receiving money in return. Various conditions were run of the experiment and after each decision, subjects' levels of the hormone [[dihydrotestosterone]] (DHT) were measured. The results of this experiment suggest men and women respond to distrust physiologically differently; a heightened level of the hormone DHT in men is associated with distrust. However, more research is needed in order to accurately state the correlation between the amount of DHT present in males and responses to distrust.<ref name="The Neuroeconomics of Distrust" />
