Abstract: This paper examines the relation of two personality
characteristics (dominance and anger) to hormones in normally
aging men. The relation of the Jackson Personality Research
Form E Dominance subscale and the Spielberger Anger Expression
scale to serum levels of 17 endocrine variables, including
testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), cortisol,
and prolactin, was examined in 1709 men aged 39 to 70 years
randomly sampled from the Boston Metropolitan Statistical
Area. Canonical correlation analysis resulted in the identification
of a personality profile characterized as dominant with some
aggressive behavior that tends to correlate with a hormonal
pattern labeled the "availability of androgens."
These results partially support previous findings in animals,
adolescents, and criminal populations that "aggressive
dominance" is related to testosterone
