We secrete scents like other mammals. ]]> 2021-11-04 01:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866165348 https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866166042 There are many uncontrollable variables present in the studies.

For example, in Cutler et al.'s research, there were many confounding variables such as sociocultural factors that could have influenced the intimate or sexual behaviors in the participants. ]]> 2021-11-04 01:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866166530 https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866168058 There are some research studies that support this albeit with limitations: Lundström and Olsson (2005), Cutler et al.

This would decrease the external and population validity of the study because the samples cannot be representatives of a wider population]]> 2021-11-04 01:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866171823 https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866172308 Humans do not have a functioning VNO or an organ which processes pheromones, so they cannot process the chemical information even if there are pheromones. ]]> 2021-11-04 01:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866172308 https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866172688 The vomeronasal organ is the organ that detects pheromones and is present in other mammals, amphibians, and reptiles, but not humans, who often possess a vestigial structure that is not attached to the olfactory bulb, or is not present at all. Thus, this could suggest that some evolutionary drive has caused humans to not possess or not have use for this organ, thus supporting the lack of human pheromones. ]]> 2021-11-04 01:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866172688 https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866176678 There are evidence but with many limitations and the process of scent detection being really difficult to study there is no clear proof of influence. For example, referring back to the Cutler (1998) even though the data seems to improve with the group that used the product it didn't work for everyone + it wasn't reliable due to the risk of bias or change in behavior due to relying on the after shave.]]> 2021-11-04 01:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866176678 https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866177987 Many factors, such as environment, diet, ethnicity, and genetics can influence the odor compounds and scent compounds secreted by a human, which could impact the effect that the synthesized pheromones have in research. ]]> 2021-11-04 01:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraoteropaz/xokbna1ho3upqu6f/wish/1866177987
