Previous research suggested associations between depressive symptomatology and oxytocin levels and between depressive symptomatology and Temperament Traits.\u00a0Despite this evidence, to the best of our knowledge no research has studied the effects fboth oxytocin serum levels and temperament dimensions on depressivesymptoms in a healthy sample. The present study aimed to analyse the effect of oxytocin levels and temperament traits on depressive symptomatology in healthy female university students.\n<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory and the\u00a0Adult Temperament Questionnaire.\u00a0Blood samples were collected between 8 and 8H30 a.m. after 12\u00a0h of fasting and between 5 and 8\u00a0day of the menstrual cycle and serum oxytocin levels were quantified using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Depressive symptomatology was negatively associated with oxytocin serum levels and \"Negative affect\" and positively associated with \"Effortful control\" and \"Activation Control\". In the final regression model, only oxytocin level was a predictor (B\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.090, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), the model explaining 65.2% of the depression variation.
