“…Acute osmotic change as physiological stress may alter a response in oxytocin because of the relationship between the two hormones ( Kawasaki A. et al, 2005 ; Kawasaki M. et al, 2005 ). Both chronic and acute stress experiences can significantly alter neuroendocrine responses, specifically involving oxytocin and corticotropin-releasing hormone and their interaction ( Peen et al, 2021 ), suggesting that social interactions play a crucial role in modulating these stress responses both in animals and humans ( Pressman et al, 2013 ; Lv et al, 2022 ; Gerasimenko et al, 2020 ; Frye et al, 2014 ; Leeds et al, 2020 ; Trieu et al, 2019 ). In addition, the endocannabinoid system takes part in the regulation of social reward by oxytocin reinforcing the connection with social context further ( Wei et al, 2015 ).…”

IntroductionThis systematic review investigates the interplay between oxytocin and exercise; in terms of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and cardioprotective effects. Furthermore, by analyzing measurement methods, we aim to improve measurement validity and reliability.MethodsUtilizing PRISMA, GRADE, and MECIR protocols, we examined five databases with a modified SPIDER search. Including studies on healthy participants, published within the last 20 years, based on keywords “oxytocin,” “exercise” and “measurement,” 690 studies were retrieved initially (455 unique records). After excluding studies of clinically identifiable diseases, and unpublished and reproduction-focused studies, 175 studies qualified for the narrative cross-thematic and structural analysis.ResultsThe analysis resulted in five categories showing the reciprocal impact of oxytocin and exercise: Exercise (50), Physiology (63), Environment (27), Social Context (65), and Stress (49). Exercise-induced oxytocin could promote tissue regeneration, with 32 studies showing its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, while 14 studies discussed memory and cognition. Furthermore, empathy-associated OXTR rs53576 polymorphism might influence team sports performance. Since dietary habits and substance abuse can impact oxytocin secretion too, combining self-report tests and repeated salivary measurements may help achieve precision.DiscussionOxytocin’s effect on fear extinction and social cognition might generate strategies for mental training, and technical, and tactical development in sports. Exercise-induced oxytocin can affect the amount of stress experienced by athletes, and their response to it. However, oxytocin levels could depend on the type of sport in means of contact level, exercise intensity, and duration. The influence of oxytocin on athletes’ performance and recovery could have been exploited due to its short half-life. Examining oxytocin’s complex interactions with exercise paves the way for future research and application in sports science, psychology, and medical disciplines.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=512184, identifier CRD42024512184

“…Although a comprehensive discussion of neurobiological and social neuroscience evidence relating to the traits of CL lies outside the scope of this paper, it is pertinent to note that the evidence emerging over the last two decades relating to empathy and the empathy spectrum of emotion and behavior such as sympathy and compassion (Trieu, Foster, Yaseen, Beaubian, and Calati, 2019), using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and self‐assessment tasks, has led to rigorous evaluation and evidence that clearly show empathy can be acquired and developed by taking advantage of neuroplasticity. Trieu et al (2019) maintain that understanding the neurobiological basis of empathy can help inspire clinical staff to improve their intra‐ and interconnectedness skills and strategies for better patient care and experience. These findings can help inform learning and development of empathy for leaders and designers.…”

Creative Leadership (CL) is a tripartite leadership model that has been developed and pioneered by Rama Gheerawo, Director of The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at London’s Royal College of Art. It evolved over the last decade through observation and experience of the limitations of hierarchical models of leadership across a diverse range of sectors. During this time, the three Creative Leadership attributes of empathy, clarity, and creativity have been explored through a range of primary and secondary research methods. The next stage of research and development involves a multidisciplinary convergence of design thinking with neuroscience that relates to brain plasticity, neural connectivity, and emotional intelligence theory. The aim is to develop a comprehensive grid of key performance indicators of CL. Dr. Melanie Flory, neuroscience project partner, explains that the three attributes are learnable and correlate positively with well‐being‐sustaining values and behaviors in individuals and groups. When the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of these traits are identified and understood, a three‐dimensional complementary feedback loop of learn–retain–apply can ensue through experiential learning and development. This positioning paper presents the evolution, scope, and applications of CL alongside a discussion of the emerging opportunities for novel design–neuroscience intersection relating to personal, leadership, and organizational development, growth, and transformation. It also reflects on the pandemic context of 2020.

“…Esta visión permite apreciar los bene"cios de la potenciación de la empatía en las relaciones sociales, reconociendo que las necesidades y los propósitos de las personas en sociedad entran inevitablemente en competencia. A pesar de la existencia de bases neurobiológicas y de las funciones en la adaptación "logenética de los humanos, la empatía no aparece de manera tan automática (Stevens & Taber, 2021;Trieu et al, 2019). Además, las personas no logran habitualmente empatizar con otros sujetos, de forma especial cuando se trata de individuos de diferentes grupos sociales o culturales (Tarrant et al, 2009).…”

(analítico)Este estudio analiza la relación entre la empatía y la disposición a la reconciliación socioemocional en adolescentes infractores de la ley. Con un diseño no experimental, correlacional-predictivo, participaron 171 jóvenes entre 15 y 23 años, judicializados con medida privativa de la libertad en Colombia, 81.1 % (n = 137) hombres y 19.9 (n = 34) mujeres. Se utilizó el índice de reactividad interpersonal y la escala de reconciliación socioemocional. Se hallaron correlaciones positivas (p < 0.05) entre la empatía y la reconciliación socioemocional. El análisis de regresión mostró que la empatía tiene efecto predictor positivo (p < 0.001) sobre la reconciliación socioemocional total (R2=0.154), intrapersonal (R2 = 0.081) e interpersonal (R2 = 0.185). Se concluye que la empatía incide en los procesos de reconciliación socioemocional de los adolescentes judicializados. Palabras clave: Delincuencia juvenil; empatía; reconciliación; emociones; problema social; solución de conflictos.
