    Background:

    • Testosterone influences mood and behavior.
    • Understanding mood-testosterone dynamics is crucial for men's health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Investigate the relationship between mood states and plasma testosterone levels.
    • Examine associations within and across individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • 20 young men participated over 2 months.
    • Mood assessed using the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist.
    • Plasma testosterone levels measured from blood samples.

    Main Results:

    • Intrasubject correlations varied, with some significant positive/negative findings.
