Since many of you are aware of the hair flip significance, I\'ve gone into my archives to pull a comment from the 1mg/ml androsterone in mineral oil study done by a student at Knox college, with my collaboration. The hair flip (e.g., playing with the hair, or increased animation) was one of the items used to assess the female\'s response when the male was wearing (or not wearing) androsterone.
----------------------
\"The assessment for flirtatious behavior was created by the experimenter with reference to Moore\'s study (see Appendix C). When looking at Moore\'s studies, the experimenter made a list of the most frequently exhibited flirtatious behaviors that women displayed in a potential mate situation. Then these behaviors were narrowed down to the top six most frequently exhibited behaviors including those that would happen in a lab setting, such as smiling, playing with hair, giggling, etc. The first seven behaviors were those that were easily detected, and hence, were able to be tallied.\"
........
\"The significant finding that supported our hypothesis in animation can possibly be explained because of the subjects\' nervousness. As was stated before, the subjects in the pheromonal condition might have had an attraction to the confederate, but they did not know why this feeling arose. This attraction within an experimental setting might have made the subjects nervous. Hence, the subjects might have been more animated due to their nervousness through displacing their nervous energy through their body language. Or they might have been attracted to the confederate and their body language conveyed this attraction. Body language can convey an attraction to another person through the way they interact. It is not necessarily a conscious form of communication. Hence, if the participants were reluctant and/or shy to admit to their attraction to the confederate, their attraction could easily have been projected through their body language, which was easily identifiable by the raters.\"
--------------------------------
It\'s very confusing to try and attribute any particular action to SOE or other products. Still, this study is an interesting adjunct to anecdotal reports of the hair flip with exposure to androsterone.
With regard to DIHL. A young friend at the high school gym suggested that I introduce myself to a classmate who works at the hospital. I did so, and this 19y/o stopped her work as a nursing assistant, and stood still for at least 5 minutes just looking at me, as I proceeded to speak with another employee. Her eyes were glassy, and she was staring at me the entire time; I got the impression she wanted to say something, but couldn\'t muster the words.
Since I\'m not mixing SOE with anything, I think that the DIHL and hair flips can be attributed both to SOE and to the RONE in SOE respectively. So, watch \'em closely! Let\'s see if some SOE induced hair flips and DIHL\'s have gone unnoticed.
