Men with high testosterone levels react more strongly when their masculinity is threatened or provoked than men with a lower level of the hormone, according to research conducted by Stanford University sociologist Robb Willer. The research is published in the <i>American Journal of Sociology</i>. Willer, who is now an associate professor at Stanford, has been studying masculinity since he was a graduate student. In earlier studies, Willer found that men, who feel threatened, exhibit masculine behavior such as expressing a stronger support for war and a greater interest in buying an SUV.
