Music increase altruism through regulating the secretion of steroid hormones and peptides
Med Hypotheses.
2014 Dec.
Abstract
Music is well known for its effect on human behavior especially of their bonding and empathy towards others. Music provokes one's emotion and activates mirror neurons and reward system. It also regulates social hormones such as steroid hormones or peptides, and increases empathy, pro-sociality and altruism. As a result, it improves one's reproductive success.
