The provided reference only mentions a hormone giving girls soft skin, not soft skills. Therefore, it's important to clarify the question. I will address two possible interpretations:
-
Addressing the original question: Which hormone is associated with the development of social or "soft" skills in girls?
-
Corrected question based on reference: Which hormone gives girls soft skin?
1. Which hormone is associated with the development of social or "soft" skills in girls?
This question is complex. There isn't one single hormone directly responsible for "soft skills" (which encompass social, emotional, and communication abilities). Development of these skills is multi-faceted, involving genetics, environment, learning, and hormonal influences. However, some hormones play a role:
-
Oxytocin: Often referred to as the "love hormone" or "bonding hormone," oxytocin is involved in social recognition, trust, empathy, and relationship building. While present in both males and females, its effects may contribute to certain aspects of social intelligence.
-
Oestrogen: While the provided reference (d) mentions Oestrogen and soft skin, Oestrogen plays a broader role in female development. While not directly responsible for soft skills, its influence on brain development and emotional regulation could indirectly impact social behaviors. However, this influence requires more in-depth and direct scientific support to link oestrogen and social skills.
It's crucial to understand:
- Soft skill development is not solely hormonal.
- Hormonal influence is complex and intertwined with other factors.
- Research is ongoing regarding the specific hormonal contributions to social abilities.
Therefore, there is no single hormone that gives girls soft skills in the sense of a direct causal relationship. It's a combination of factors, with some hormonal influences contributing.
2. Which hormone gives girls soft skin?
According to the reference:
- (d) Oestrogen gives girls soft skin.
Therefore, the answer to the corrected question is Oestrogen. Oestrogen promotes skin hydration, collagen production, and overall skin health, contributing to a softer texture.
