• Conducted a registered report
• Used pooled equivalence testing methodology
• Analyzed the relationship between intranasal oxytocin and trusting behavior in participants
• No meaningful effect of intranasal oxytocin on trusting behavior was observed
• Findings suggest that oxytocin may not play a significant role in trust
