The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity.
TLDR
The Adaptive Calibration Model is presented, an evolutionary-developmental theory of individual differences in the functioning of the stress response system that extends the theory of biological sensitivity to context (BSC) and provides an integrative framework for future research in the field.About:

Differential susceptibility to the environment: an evolutionary--neurodevelopmental theory.
Bruce J. Ellis,W. Thomas Boyce,Jay Belsky,Marian J. Bakermans-Kranenburg,Marinus H. van IJzendoorn +4 more
TL;DR: The differential susceptibility paradigm has far-reaching implications for understanding whether and how much child and adult development responds, for better and for worse, to the gamut of species-typical environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain on stress: How the social environment gets under the skin
TL;DR: The capacity of brain plasticity to effects of stressful experiences in adult life has only begun to be explored along with the efficacy of top-down strategies for helping the brain change itself, sometimes aided by pharmaceutical agents and other treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early developmental conditioning of later health and disease: physiology or pathophysiology?
Mark A. Hanson,Peter D. Gluckman +1 more
TL;DR: The extent to which DOHaD represents the result of the physiological processes of developmental plasticity, which may have potential adverse consequences in terms of NCD risk later, or whether it is the manifestation of pathophysiological processes acting in early life but only becoming apparent as disease later?
Journal ArticleDOI
Borderline Personality Disorder Why ‘fast and furious’?
TL;DR: It is argued that many features of B PD may be conceptualized within an evolutionary framework, namely behavioral ecology, which is consistent with standard medical conceptualizations of BPD, but goes beyond classic ‘deficit’-oriented models, which may have profound implications for therapeutic approaches.
Reference EntryDOI
Life history theory and evolutionary psychology.
TL;DR: An overview of life history theory and its main psychological applications can be found in this article, where basic trade-offs in life history allocations are discussed and the concept of Life History Strategies is introduced.

Lifetime Prevalence and Age-of-Onset Distributions of DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
Ronald C. Kessler,Patricia A. Berglund,Olga Demler,Robert Jin,Kathleen R. Merikangas,Ellen E. Walters +5 more
TL;DR: Lifetime prevalence estimates are higher in recent cohorts than in earlier cohorts and have fairly stable intercohort differences across the life course that vary in substantively plausible ways among sociodemographic subgroups.

Journal ArticleDOI
How do glucocorticoids influence stress responses? Integrating permissive, suppressive, stimulatory, and preparative actions.
TL;DR: This review considers recent findings regarding GC action and generates criteria for determining whether a particular GC action permits, stimulates, or suppresses an ongoing stress-response or, as an additional category, is preparative for a subsequent stressor.
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.
