A latent State Trait Model of Cortisol in Normally Developing Youth

Описание:
Research relating salivary cortisol levels with internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in youth has yielded inconsistent results, likely due to the high day-to-day variation in stress regulation. Understanding stability in this changing system may require an analytical strategy that separates variance in cortisol levels attributable to trait- or "basal" versus state- or "situationally-specific” sources. Early morning saliva samples were obtained from 654 youth (range 6-16 yrs ) on two successive days one year apart. Latent state trait modeling revealed that 70% of the variance in cortisol levels could be attributed to state-like sources, and 28% to trait-like sources. Higher levels ofexternalizing problems were consistently associated with lower basal cortisol in boys. This finding is consistent with studies of at-risk and clinical groups. The present findings confirm the relationship spans both normative and atypical child development, and supports speculations that boys...Похожие книги
