Oxytocin-enforced norm compliance reduces xenophobic outgroup rejection

>Accommodating the large influx of migrants not only challenges the humanitarian capacities of European countries but also requires their native populations to adjust to rapid growths in ethnic diversity, religious pluralism, and cultural differentiation
>Resistance to this transition often goes along with xenophobic sentiment, and as a consequence, recent elections in Europe have favored populist candidates who have openly expressed xenophobic attitudes toward refugees.
>Our results imply that an OXT-enforced social norm adherence could be instrumental in motivating a more generalized acceptance toward ethnic diversity, religious plurality, and cultural differentiation resulting from migration by proposing that interventions to increase altruism are most effective when charitable social cues instill the notion that one’s ingroup shows strong affection for an outgroup.
>Furthermore, UNESCO has emphasized the importance of developing neurobiologically informed strategies for reducing xenophobic, hostile, and discriminatory attitudes (47). Thus, considering OXT-enforced normative incentives in developing future interventions and policy programs intended to reduce outgroup rejection may be an important step toward making the principle of social inclusion a daily reality in our societies.

Can someone read the paper and figure out what they mean by "peer-derived altruistic norms"?

>literally brainwashing people to welcome invaders
damn they're not even hiding it

Some good old peer pressure
>In Experiment 3, the same sample of participants was additionally informed about the higher average donations made by their peers in each scenario(e.g.,"Your peers previously donated EUR 0.50")

Bizarre. So oxytocin makes you more susceptible to social pressures?

holy shit you can take oxytocin like a drug nasally?

does it make you feel high or is it like a subtle mind control drug like ssri?

>After putting it in the spectrum analyzer at work, I couldn't find anything but water (up to 99.990% per volume). We decided to test our water tap, and came up with 98.5% water per volume. Our filtered water sample only reached 99.95% per volume, meaning it had 5x more dissolved solids in it than this nasal spray. I'm actually impressed with how pure this sample of water is.
I don't think so

>is this for real?
>PURE PLANT HOME
Hmm...

fun fact: oxytocin is a brain hormone largely secreted by females when they have sex that makes them bind to their partners

"pure oxytocin" is the brand name, not what it contains
Just read the description lmao
>It is hand succussed to render it more potent and dynamic.
