Something to Lose and Nothing to Gain (2011, methodology): “A commonly used experimental manipulation to elicit stress is engagement in public speaking (Dickerson and Kemeny, 2004).”
The Effect of Stress on Consumer Saving and Spending (2016, methodology): “In the modern world, the hassles of daily life can lead to elevated levels of cortisol and influence psychological functioning (Dickerson and Kemeny 2004; Sapolsky 2004).”
Evidence for a curvilinear relationship between abusive supervision and creativity in South Korea (2013, background): “…of stressors on creative performance, Byron, Khazanchi, and Nazarian (2010) theorized that there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between creativity and social-evaluative threats, which occur “when an aspect of self is or can be negatively judged by others” (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004, p. 361).”
A dose of nature: Tree cover, stress reduction, and gender differences (2014, methodology): “The d value has been widely used as an index for repeated measures effect size estimates: An effect size of .20 is considered small; .50 is moderate; and .80 or greater is large (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004).”
Minority Stress and Physical Health Among Sexual Minorities (2013, background): “A great deal of work in the general population has established links between social stress, HPA functioning, and downstream health (for a review, see Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004).”
The Psychology of Self‐defense: Self‐Affirmation Theory (2006, background): “These tasks have reliably been shown to threaten the self, induce appraisals of threat, and elicit the stress hormone cortisol (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004).”
The emergence of goal pursuit: Mental contrasting connects future and reality (2014, methodology): “Study 2: Strength of future–reality associations and new goals We measured actual performance in the laboratory using a modified version (Oettingen et al., 2009) of the Trier Social Stress Test (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004; Kirschbaum, Pirke, & Hellhammer, 1993).”
Work Stress and Employee Health (2013, background): “Similarly, in a review of laboratory reactivity studies, Dickerson and Kemeny (2004) found large differences in the ability of different types of acute stressors to elicit cortisol responses, with social-evaluative tasks and those that were uncontrollable eliciting the largest cortisol responses.”
The Five “A”s of Meaning Maintenance: Finding Meaning in the Theories of Sense-Making (2012, background): “…that violate expected relationships—often in the absence of any conscious, subjective awareness of the arousal (for a review, see Townsend, Eliezer, & Major, in press) As it is generally understood, this syndrome begins with the release of epinephrine, and often cortisol (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004).”
Diurnal Cortisol Slopes and Mental and Physical Health Outcomes:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2017, background): “First, cortisol levels are responsive to social and psychological stress (Dickerson and Kemeny, 2004; Gunnar et al., 2009a).”
Acute psychosocial stress: does the emotional stress response correspond with physiological responses? (2012, positive): “…a social-evaluative threat in terms of being exposed to a potentially negative judgment by others and of anticipating an uncontrollable outcome performance have been associated with the largest and most reliable cortisol responses compared to other laboratory stressors (Dickerson and Kemeny, 2004).”
Stress reactivity to co-rumination in young women’s friendships: Cortisol, alpha-amylase, and negative affect focus (2011, background): “This system appears to be particularly responsive to psychosocial contexts perceived as threatening, risky, and/or uncontrollable (Bauer et al., 2002; Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004; Hellhammer, Wust, & Kudielka, 2009).”
Making support work: The interplay between social support and social identity (2014, methodology): “By giving rise to feelings of social-evaluative threat, that is, the fear that important aspects of the self might be evaluated negatively (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004), these situationsmay produce stress.”
An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “Likewise, manipulations of social evaluative threat are designed to create an explicit sense of public critique during an impossibly difficult task (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004).”
Integrating psychological and neurobiological considerations regarding the development and maintenance of specific Internet-use disorders: An Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model. (2016, neutral): “Situational factors are perceived subjectively, and the subjective erception results in affective and cognitive responses linked to the evel of perceived stress (Dickerson and Kemeny, 2004; Koolhaas t al., 2011).”
Psychobiological research on attachment (2010, background): “…to laboratory stressors are fairly common in the social psychophysiological literature, and their implications for interpreting emotion- and self-regulatory processes have received increasing attention in recent years (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004; Mauss, Levenson, McCarter, Wilhelm, & Gross, 2005).”
