(PRBuzz.com) May 24, 2013 -- A new study has found that men with higher testosterone than others is more likely to wear the color red than any other color. There is something about the color red, according to researchers, that is associated with underlying biological systems.
In fact, avid sports fan in the UK may say that teams whose main color is red, such as the Manchester United in football, Wales and British lions in the rugby union, and Ferrari in Formula 1, all successful in their respectful sports, back up that theory.
However, despite the link with testosterone, sportsmen wearing red did not necessarily perform better in the study. 73 men were chosen for the research, all of whom were told they would be competing and their performances would be placed on a leaderboard to compare the results.
Then, the men either chose a red or blue emblem to represent them. Then, they performed their task. When finished, they were interviewed to find out if their reason for choosing red had an underlying factor that influenced their decision.
The study revealed that the men who chose red had higher base testosterone levels. In addition, they reported that the color red has having higher characteristics in dominance and aggression than the color blue.
Researchers want to point out that the study revealed that the color choice did not seem to be reflective of to performance in the competitive tasks. They believe that direct competition and higher levels of testosterone influence both color choice and performance.
Dr. Daniel Farrelly, the head researcher and lead author, says that there may be something intrinsically different about "red" competitors, both in the mindset of that particular performer and those around him.
