==Socio-effective processing==
Miani et al. (2020) theorized that adult men "who underwent neonatal [[circumcision]], compared to those who did not, will display alterations in socio-affective processing conforming to the fast life-history strategies, namely, decreased reliance on social environment and increased perceived stress and sexual activity."<ref name="miani2020">{{REFjournal

To test the theory, they surveyed American men. They studied "408 men [[circumcised ]] within the first month of life and 211 non-circumcised men andmeasured socio-affective behaviors and stress."<ref name="miani2020" />
The authors reported their "analysis shows differences between early [[circumcised ]] and non-circumcised men in psychological measures of socio-affectivity and provides initial support for the hypothesis that this alteration stems from the most crucial neurodevelopmentally plastic period of an individual's life. They called for "replication of the current study with a larger sample size and better ability to control for socioeconomic variables."<ref name="miani2020" />
