Social support and oxytocin interact to suppress cortisol and subjective responses to psychosocial stress
TL;DR: Oxytocin seems to enhance the buffering effect of social support on stress responsiveness, concur with data from animal research suggesting an important role of oxytocin as an underlying biological mechanism for stress-protective effects of positive social interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential role of hypocortisolism in the pathophysiology of stress-related bodily disorders.
TL;DR: It is proposed that a persistent lack of cortisol availability in traumatized or chronically stressed individuals may promote an increased vulnerability for the development of stress-related bodily disorders.

Journal ArticleDOI
Discriminating Stress From Cognitive Load Using a Wearable EDA Device
