The empathogen 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, but not methamphetamine, increases feelings of global trust
Our findings extend previous research by demonstrating that MDMA increases feelings of trust in the social world beyond lab-specific interaction partners. These findings are consistent with user reports of generalized social well-being effects and support the idea that MDMA may have clinical value from a social psychological perspective.
