Review of: Absence of a meaningful effect of intranasal oxytocin on trusting behavior: a registered report with pooled equivalence testing. Round#1/Reviewer#1

Key Points

• The main aim is to assess whether intranasal oxytocin influences trusting behavior in individuals.
• Conducted a registered report with pooled data analysis.
• Utilized equivalence testing to assess effect sizes.
• Examined various studies on the effects of intranasal oxytocin.
• Results indicated no meaningful effect of intranasal oxytocin on trusting behavior.
• Pooled analysis showed equivalence, suggesting oxytocin does not significantly alter trust levels.
