The link to the study is provided in the article so you can see this for yourself. Shamay-Tsoory is a well known and respected researcher in the field, and this study was published in a reputable journal which means it underwent strict peer-review to ensure the study’s rationale, methods, and interpretation of results are up to scientific standards.

Also, the point of science is to test a hypothesis, and re-test, and re-test some more, to determine the underlying truth. If a hypothesis is wrong, then rigorous testing will eventually prove as much. There is nothing wrong with studies showing different results, it just indicates that more research is needed to clarify which factors contributed to the different findings.

How can previous studies come to such different conclusions?

I do not believe oxytocin acts in the same manner as other recreational drugs. But to each their own.
