Within a relatively wide normal range, differences in testosterone levels among individuals has little causal effect on behavior. However, if the average testosterone levels between two groups of men varies by even a relatively small amount, dramatic changes in behavior are likely. This was illustrated with the example of fraternities and their members' treatment of female a female interviewer.
What are other situations where the average testosterone level might be artificially high (or low)? What situations will cause the testosterone levels of whatever males happen to be there to rise? What about situations where the men who self-select to gather have higher than average testosterone?
