\n People whose parents divorced when they were children have substantially lower levels of oxytocin \u2014 the so-called \u201clove hormone\u201d \u2014 and that may explain their own difficulties forming lasting relationships, a new study suggests.<\/p>\n

The study out of Baylor University is \u201ca first step to understanding how oxytocin during stressful events in young people may be linked to their future,\u201d said lead author Maria Boccia.<\/p>\n

Oxytocin is a neurohormone produced in the pituitary, a small, bean-shaped gland deep in the center of the brain.<\/p>\n

It is called the \u201clove hormone\u201d because it is released during bonding experiences such as delivering and nursing a baby, snuggling with a child or hugging a romantic partner \u2014 reinforcing those behaviors with that warm, fuzzy feeling.<\/p>\n

The Baylor study, published in the Journal of Comparative Psychology, adds to the understanding of how early, parental stress \u2014 and the suppression of oxytocin that may result \u2014 could also be linked to adult outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we found was that oxytocin was substantially lower in people who experienced parental divorce compared to those who did not,\u201d Boccia said.<\/p>\n

The 128 study subjects filled out questionnaires that asked about their parents and peers during childhood, including about their memories of affection and feeling protected or abused.<\/p>\n

The questionnaires also asked about their current levels of confidence, discomfort with closeness, need for app<\/a>roval, and styles of relationships and caregiving.<\/p>\n

Urine samples were then collected from the subjects and tested for oxytocin concentration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe levels were substantially lower in individuals whose childhood experience included their parents\u2019 divorce,\u201d the university said in a statement on the study.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who experienced parental divorce during childhood were less confident, more uncomfortable with closeness and less secure in relationships,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey rated their own caregiving style as less sensitive and close than did the participants whose parents had not divorced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous studies of people whose parents divorced \u2014 or who experienced\u00a0 a parent\u2019s death \u2014 during their childhood have also found links to depression, anxiety and substance abuse, the researchers noted.<\/p>\n

Baylor is a private Christian University located in Waco, Tx.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
