The cognitive activation theory of stress. (2004, background): “However, hypocortisolism may be a common phenomenon even in childhood (Gunnar and Vazquez, 2001).”
A Mindfulness-Based Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum for School-Aged Children: The MindUP Program (2016, neutral): “This change may have indicated greater allostatic load in control students over time (i.e., an inefﬁ cient response to stressors that creates negative health effects over time; Gunnar & Vazquez, 2001 ).”
Psychobiological Mechanisms Underlying the Social Buffering of the HPA Axis: A Review of Animal Models and Human Studies across Development (2013, background): “…of the acute HPA response can lead to enhanced GC release across the day, followed by down-regulation over time, which has been termed hypocortisolism and has been observed in many instances of prolonged trauma or stress (Fries, Hesse, Hellhammer, & Hellhammer, 2005; Gunnar & Vazquez, 2001).”
The Neuroendocrinology of Social Isolation (2014, background): “…of the activity of the adult HPA axis are associated with numerous deleterious psychological and physical health outcomes (Chrousos 2009, Fries et al. 2009, Gunnar & Vazquez 2001) (for an overview of gene regulation by the HPA axis in adults, see sidebar Gene Regulation by the HPA Axis).”
Biological Sensitivity to Context (2008, result): “Yet studies comparing individuals from points C and D would find, as those reviewed by Gunnar andVazquez (2001) have, that early stressors are rather associated with down-regulatory changes in salient biological responses.”
“The Biological Effects of Childhood Trauma” (2014, neutral): “…that trauma in infant primates [74] and very young or prepubertal children living in orphanages show low morning and daytime cortisol production [75], suggesting that prepubertal children may be more sensitive to negative feedback control mechanisms for cortisol output than older school-age…”
Enhancing Cognitive and Social–Emotional Development Through a Simple-to-Administer Mindfulness-Based School Program for Elementary School Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2015, background): “…from A.M. to P.M.) to an attenuated diurnal decrease in cortisol from morning to afternoon has been recognized as indicative of neuroendocrine dysregulation (Gunnar, 2000; Gunnar & Vazquez, 2001) and has been found among children experiencing chronic stress (Bevans, Cerbone, & Overstreet, 2008).”
A field (researcher's) guide to cortisol: tracking HPA axis functioning in everyday life (2008, background): “…Giller, Southwick, Lowy, & Mason, 1991), and other disorders (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, fibromyalgia) that have been associated with adverse early life experiences (Gunnar & Vazquez, 2001), while hypercortisolism has been most consistently found in clinical depression (e.g., Burke et al., 2005).”
Diurnal Cortisol Slopes and Mental and Physical Health Outcomes:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2017, background): “Since the early 2000′s (Gunnar and Vazquez, 2001), no systematic reviews on the DCS have been conducted.”
Cortisol reactivity to a teacher’s motivating style: the biology of being controlled versus supporting autonomy (2011, background): “…cortisol reactivity seems to be a reliable response to relationship conflict though people sometimes, over time, later show a blunted cortisol response as they dissociate or disengage from the stress-inducing relationship (Davies et al. 2006, 2007; Gunnar and Vazquez 2001; Miller et al. 2007).”
