Salivary cortisol as a biomarker in stress research.
TLDR
The present paper addresses several psychological and biological variables, which may account for such dissociations, and aims to help researchers to rate the validity and psychobiological significance of salivary cortisol as an HPAA biomarker of stress in their experiments.About:

When does proactivity have a cost? Motivation at work moderates the effects of proactive work behavior on employee job strain
TL;DR: In this article, a lagged study of 127 employee-supervisor dyads across a variety of sectors was conducted to investigate the effects of proactive behavior on employees' well-being.

The Trier Social Stress Test as a paradigm to study how people respond to threat in social interactions
TL;DR: The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) is a well-established paradigm in biopsychology that induces social-evaluative threat in the laboratory by subjecting participants to a mock job-interview and is extremely adaptable to the needs of the researcher.

Cortisol increase in empathic stress is modulated by emotional closeness and observation modality
Veronika Engert,Franziska Plessow,Franziska Plessow,Robert Miller,Clemens Kirschbaum,Tania Singer +5 more
TL;DR: The occurrence of empathic stress down to the level of HPA-axis activation, in some cases even in total strangers and when only virtually witnessing another's distress, may have important implications for the development of stress-related diseases.

Intercorrelations between serum, salivary, and hair cortisol and child-reported estimates of stress in elementary school girls
Barbara Vanaelst,Barbara Vanaelst,Inge Huybrechts,Inge Huybrechts,Karin Bammann,Karin Bammann,Nathalie Michels,Tineke De Vriendt,Tineke De Vriendt,Krishna Vyncke,Krishna Vyncke,Isabelle Sioen,Isabelle Sioen,Licia Iacoviello,Kathrin Gunther,Dénes Molnár,Lauren Lissner,Noellie Rivet,Jean-Sébastien Raul,Stefaan De Henauw,Stefaan De Henauw +20 more
TL;DR: To what extent childhood stress can be estimated accurately by stressor questionnaires and biological markers (serum, salivary, and hair cortisol) using the Triads (a triangulation) method in 272 elementary school girls is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Regular Physical Activity and Fitness on Stress Reactivity as Measured with the Trier Social Stress Test Protocol: A Systematic Review.
TL;DR: About half of the studies suggested that higher PA/fitness levels were associated with an attenuated response to psychosocial stress, and a great need for further studies with longitudinal or experimental designs exists.

Impact of gender, menstrual cycle phase, and oral contraceptives on the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.
TL;DR: Although men seem to have a stronger hypothalamic drive in response to stressful stimulation than women, differences in salivary-free cortisol levels, at least in part, may be explained by estradiol-induced changes in corticosteroid-binding protein levels.

Free Cortisol Levels after Awakening: A Reliable Biological Marker for the Assessment of Adrenocortical Activity
Jens C. Pruessner,Oliver T. Wolf,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Angelika Buske-Kirschbaum,K. von Auer,Silke Jobst,F. Kaspers,Clemens Kirschbaum +7 more
TL;DR: Early morning cortisol levels can be a reliable biological marker for the individual's adrenocortical activity when measured repeatedly with strict reference to the time of awakening, in contrast to single assessments at fixed times.

Maternal care during infancy regulates the development of neural systems mediating the expression of fearfulness in the rat
Christian Caldji,Beth Tannenbaum,Shakti Sharma,Darlene D. Francis,Paul M. Plotsky,Michael J. Meaney +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal care during infancy serves to "program" behavioral responses to stress in the offspring by altering the development of the neural systems that mediate fearfulness.

Limbic system mechanisms of stress regulation: hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis.
TL;DR: The influence of the limbic system on the HPA axis is likely the end result of the overall patterning of responses to given stimuli and glucocorticoids, with the magnitude of the secretory response determined with respect to the relative contributions of the various structures.

The cortisol awakening response (CAR): Facts and future directions
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the anticipation of the upcoming day is of major relevance for the magnitude of the cortisol awakening response, and considerations are addressed concerning the exact function of the CAR.
