简要总结
This study will investigate the effects of 15 minutes of massage compared to 15 minutes of quiet rest on physiological variables. Specifically, the investigators will measure the effects on levels of the social hormone oxytocin, and on other physiological variables that interact with oxytocin or that may be influenced by massage (including ACTH, Beta-endorphin, and IL-1alpha). The investigators will also investigate whether, in the case of hormones changes, these influence social decision making.
详细描述
Interested participants will have the experiment explained both verbally and in writing, and asked to give their informed consent in writing. After consent, the participants will be led to a private room for their first 30ml blood draw by a qualified phlebotomist. Participants will then have a second 30ml blood draw.

Participants receive a blood draw at baseline and immediately following 15 minutes of massage or rest and oxytocin will be measured from this sample.
次要结局
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)(Within 5 minutes following experimental manipulation of either 15 minutes massage or rest.)
- Beta-endorphin(Within 5 minutes following experimental manipulation of either 15 minutes massage or rest.)
- Interleukin-1alpha (IL-1a)(Within 5 minutes following experimental manipulation of either 15 minutes massage or rest.)
