Journal ArticleDOI
Acute stressors and cortisol responses: a theoretical integration and synthesis of laboratory research.
TL;DR: Motivated performance tasks elicited cortisol responses if they were uncontrollable or characterized by social-evaluative threat (task performance could be negatively judged by others), when methodological factors and other stressor characteristics were controlled for.
Journal ArticleDOI
Who talks? The social psychology of illness support groups.
TL;DR: Support seeking was highest for diseases viewed as stigmatizing and was lowest for less embarrassing but equally devastating disorders, such as heart disease, and implications for social comparison theory and its applications in health care are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
When the Social Self Is Threatened: Shame, Physiology, and Health
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acute threats to the social self increase proinflammatory cytokine activity and cortisol and that these changes occur in concert with shame, which support a stressor- and emotional response-specificity model for psychobiological and health research.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Results suggest a subtle dysregulation in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning in breast cancer survivors with persistent fatigue, which is associated with alterations in immunological parameters and serum cortisol levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological effects of induced shame and guilt.
TL;DR: It is suggested that inducing self-related emotions can cause changes in inflammatory products, and that shame may have specific immunological correlates.
