"Stress reactivity" refers to how our bodies and minds respond to stress. It represents how we react physically and emotionally when facing challenging or difficult situations.
Full definition
We teach a curriculum that is designed to support social and emotional learning and cultivate awareness
of stress reactivity in children and adolescents.
She works on honey bees, examining the role of dopamine in associative olfactory learning and the impact of Varroa and its associated viruses
on stress reactivity in bees.
Studies from the 1950s showed that even short separations of young rodent pups from their mother have profound and persistent effects on behaviour and
physiological stress reactivity [124].
By using... hierarchical regression analyses potential moderating influences of self - reported trait - mindfulness and trait values of general
psychological stress reactivity on stress protective effects of a three months Taiji training were examined.
Marijuana abusers show lower positive and higher negative emotionality scores than controls, which is consistent, on one hand, with lower reward sensitivity and motivation and, on the other hand, with
increased stress reactivity and irritability.
Maternal sensitivity is related to hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal
axis stress reactivity and regulation in response to emotion challenge in 6 - month - old infants.
We know that mindfulness and related interventions
reduce stress reactivity and make one less prone to developing these acute illnesses and infections.
Saliva alpha
amylase stress reactivity in children and adolescents: Validation, contextual influences, and links to behavioral dysregulation
This could provide a stressful environment for the offspring by affecting mother - child interactions and infant stress reactivity [50].

stress reactivity during adolescence in Life - span developmental psychology: Perspectives on stress and coping / Erlbaum: 195 ~ 209
In humans, parental social support has been shown to be inversely associated with asthma prevalence among children.55 Furthermore, maternal sensitivity has been shown to modify the effects of prenatal stress experiences on
infant stress reactivity.56
a secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled Taiji trial that significantly
lowered stress reactivity of salivary cortisol and alpha - amylase in a Taiji group (n = 26) compared to a control group (n = 23).
Both greater 5 - HTT and whole - genome methylation level (i.e., 5 - methylcytosine content) is associated with
enhanced stress reactivity across the subsequent life span.
Victoria, N.C., Inoue, K., Young, L.J., Murphy, A.Z. Long - term dysregulation of brain corticoprophin and glucocorticoid receptors and
stress reactivity by single early - life pain experience in male and female rats.
Consistent with the anxious - avoidant dynamics discussed above, couples with an anxious wife and an avoidant husband showed
heightened stress reactivity in anticipation of the conflict; that is, their cortisol levels skyrocketed when being reminded of the upcoming relationship stressor.
Adverse childhood experiences and genetic predispositions
regarding stress reactivity interact to determine the type of childhood stress.
Separation from the mother in rodents induces physiological and behavioural responses including vocalisation and searching behaviour, corticosterone hormone release and inhibition of metabolism related to growth and
later stress reactivity [129, 130].
Meaney and colleagues have found that variation in early care affects the expression of the glucocorticoid receptor gene in the hippocampus by differential methylation of the promoter region of the gene leading to stable differences in
offspring stress reactivity persisting through adulthood [136].
Demonstrate new findings suggesting that BN, and related borderline personality and suicidal tendencies, may be associated with increased methylation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (i.e., a gene that is centrally involved in the modulation of
individual stress reactivities)
In Ho's study, moms who emphasized cognitive empathy showed the
least stress reactivity during decision making, and their judgment calls were more accurate.
Rats raised by highly responsive mothers show
less stress reactivity as adults (Francis et al 1999; Meaney 2001).
Higher 5 - HTT CpG methylation, but not sequence variation in the serotonin transporter promoter region, exacerbates the effects of early life stress on
behavioral stress reactivity.
hierarchical regression analyses potential moderating influences of self - reported trait - mindfulness and trait values of general
psychological stress reactivity on stress protective effects of a three months Taiji training were examined.
Maternal sensitivity is related to hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal
axis stress reactivity and regulation in response to emotion challenge in 6 - month - old infants.
First, anxious - avoidant pairings exhibited
high stress reactivity in anticipation of a relationship conflict, a pattern that may take a toll on health over time (e.g., by increasing one's susceptibility to illness or risk factors for disease, such as high blood pressure or inflammatory compounds).
In the control group (p = 0.042) but not in the Taiji group (p = 0.69) salivary
cortisol stress reactivity was significantly increased in persons with higher trait - mindfulness scores.
Affect expression, marital satisfaction, and
stress reactivity among premenopausal women during a conflictual marital discussion
Methods: We conducted a secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled Taiji trial that significantly
lowered stress reactivity of salivary cortisol and alpha - amylase in a Taiji group (n = 26) compared to a control group (n = 23).
