The ‘Trier Social Stress Test’ – A Tool for Investigating Psychobiological Stress Responses in a Laboratory Setting

Clemens Kirschbaum, +2 more
- 01 Jul 1993 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that gender, genetics and nicotine consumption can influence the individual's stress responsiveness to psychological stress while personality traits showed no correlation with cortisol responses to TSST stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of the validity of three scales for the assessment of dietary restraint.

Reinhold G. Laessle, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1989 - 
TL;DR: A factor analysis showed that the three restraint scales measure different components of the restraint construct, and a high score on the RS was closely related to consequences of mostly unsuccessful dieting, but not to successful overall caloric restriction in everyday life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oliver T. Wolf, +7 more
- 01 Jul 1997 - 
TL;DR: The present data do not support the idea of strong beneficial effects of a physiological DHEA substitution on well-being or cognitive performance in healthy elderly individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preliminary evidence for reduced cortisol responsivity to psychological stress in women using oral contraceptive medication

Clemens Kirschbaum, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that the use of OC may interfere with the adrenocortical response to psychological stress and should therefore be viewed as an important intervening variable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Margarete Bolten, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: Maternal cortisol levels in pregnancy influence intrauterine growth and may be a better predictor for birth outcome than perceived stress, and no significant associations between perceived stress and anthrometric measures at birth were found.
