is all affiliation the same? facilitation or complementarity?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 September 2005
Abstract
the authors regard opiates as the primary neural substrate for social attachment, and peptide hormones as subsidiary. one may instead conclude from their evidence that oxytocin, vasopressin, and opiates play complementary roles in attachment. oxytocin and vasopressin relate to different aspects of emotional experience, and opiates to quiescence from long-term attachment. this is related to intimacy versus affiliation.
