Relationship Between Screen Time and Chinese Children’s Cognitive and Social Development (2020, methodology): “Family SES had positive associations with children’s math (B= 4.765, β= 0.296, t= 7.460, p .01, CI[3.510, 6.019]), C-PPVT-R (B= 13.785, β= 0.568, t= 16.052, p .001, CI[12.098, 15.472]), science (B = 8.404, β = 0.487, t = 13.379, p .001, CI[7.171, 9.63]), executive function (B = 7.512, β = 0.33”
Socioeconomic status and the developing brain (2009, neutral): “Lower-SES is associated with higher levels of stress [11,68,69] in addition to changes in the function of physiological stress response systems [22,28, 70 ] in children and adults.”
Household Response to Income Changes: Evidence from an Unconditional Cash Transfer Program in Kenya ∗ (2013, background): “between poverty and psychological outcomes (Stevenson and Wolfers 2008; Sacks, Stevenson, and Wolfers 2012; Kahneman and Deaton 2010; Haushofer and Fehr 2013; Haushofer, Fehr, and Schunk 2013) as well as poverty and cortisol levels (Haushofer et al. 2011; Cohen et al. 2006; Cohen, Doyle, and Baum 20”

Health psychology: developing biologically plausible models linking the social world and physical health. (2009, background): “Several studies have also linked low socioeconomic status to higher levels of cortisol and epinephrine during daily life (Cohen et al. 2006a,b; Evans & English 2002; JanickiDeverts et al. 2007; Lupien et al. 2000, 2001) 506 Miller · Chen · Cole A nn u.”
Aging and cumulative inequality: how does inequality get under the skin? (2009, background): “Very telling in this regard is research by Cohen, Doyle, and Baum (2006) revealing that socioeconomic status (SES) is inversely associated with stress hormones such as cortisol and catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine and norepinephrine).”
Letters of Gratitude: Further Evidence for Author Benefits (2012, background): “Longitudinal research on writing points to the antithesis of depression, happiness, as a factor which can fend off depression related issues (Cohen et al. 2006).”

Affluence, Feelings of Stress, and Well-being (2009, background): “The underlying biological mechanism linking socioeconomic status (SES) and stress has been confirmed by Cohen et al. (2006), who found that lower SES was associated with higher levels of stress hormones.”
Psychological Perspectives on Pathways Linking Socioeconomic Status and Physical Health (2011, background): “Healthy adults who had more adverse childhood events had smaller anterior cingulate cortex volumes (R.A. Cohen et al. 2006), and healthy elderly women with a history of chronic stress had smaller hippocampal volume (Gianaros et al. 2007b).”
