We think these results highlight how cortisol stress reactivity is shaped by small distributed contributions across states, biology, and context.
No single psychological variable dominates in our sample. This raises questions re psychological interpretations of cortisol reactivity (caution!). (4/4)

Findings: 🔽 Positive affect during stress → very modest but consistent predictor of cortisol reactivity. 🔼 Negative affect → only linked to one cortisol metric, not robust. BIS/BAS traits → no association. (3/4)

We used the Maastricht Acute Stress Test to assess cortisol reactivity (peak, turnover, responder status) and measured affect (PANAS), traits (BIS/BAS) and biological & contextual covariates
Then we used LASSO regression to find the most robust predictors of cortisol stress reactivity. 🤠 (2/4)

Looks like a great show. Saw them in Manchester. Truly biblical.
