I have to write a paper for my psychology class. I picked hormones and how they affect behavior. So far, I can't find anything at the library except anatomy and physiology books (which I already have). Every website I go to is trying to sell me a book. Where can I find just information I can use?

I've been studying human behavior and having been the subject of my own behavior and been involved with a man I can tell you I think hormones Have alot to do with how we relate to each other. Hormones are inside your body it relates to sex. you see someone you like and you may inadvertantly release the pheromones. you will change your behavior in order to attract this person and make them like you. men and women do it all the time. eventually you will let your guard down and they will see the real you. the hormones have not worn off. well, maybe a little but they will eventually see the real you but the hormones are as strong as ever. after a period of about two years the hormones die down and the "relationship" really evolves into a more settles and you can either live with the person as they are or walk away. unfortuantely most people by this time have gotten married and this may be why the divorce rate is so high. the hormones cause people to get married. the hormones are casuing people to get married during a time called INFATUATION. after the two years, the infatuation wears off. some of these couples truly DO get to know each other and eventualy fall in LOVE because they find out what is really important. After the two year period is up, the couples that are truly in love have a much better shot at staying married than the couple who got married because they were infatuated. unforutunately, most people do not have the maturity to recognize they are rruled by their hormones. once in a great while some will grow up and look for a lasting relationship and truly take the time to get to know a person. that is my theory.
try googling some of the research.

Go to a medical site like question sites - ask the Dr. sites.
Cross reference hormones with behavior.
There's alot of info out there especially on puberty-hormones,
menopause-hormones, chemical imbalance-hormones.
Good Luck!

Were do you live? Close to a college? If so, go to the college library. Try the Harvard U. web site.

That's because Docotrs don't admit that your hormones can cause behavioral changes.
Ask any woman with PMS. Her Dr. doesn't help her with it.

dress sexy, interview several teenagers and ask them what they are thinking about... your richest source of resources is not in the pages of anatomy and physiology, but fleshed out of your own and others anatomy and physiology!
