Welcome! If you’re interested in questions concerning the evolution and endocrinology of human behavior, this is your place. We’re dedicated to addressing such questions through use of minimally invasive hormone measurements—measurements that rely on saliva, finger prick blood spot or urine samples rather than the clinical workhorse of venous blood. Here, we’re focused on questions such as: What are the hormonal correlates of human pair bonding and paternal care? What role does prolactin play in non-parental human allocare? Are stress responses attenuated during affiliative interactions with pets? How do early social experiences alter adult neuroendocrine function? How do fluctuations in female hormone levels across the menstrual cycle and reproductive cycle affect behavior? We’re interested in fostering collaborative research with students and other researchers, both at UNLV and beyond. Please contact Dr. Gray to discuss potential research projects.
Paternal Behavior and Health Survey We are looking for 500 men between the ages of 18-40 years who have young children (0-4 years) to complete a short, completely anonymous, online survey. We are investigating the impact of fatherhood and maternal postpartum depression on men’s health and behavior. To take the survey, click on the link below.
