From a confluence of events, our team acquired salivary sex hormone data from two different assays; namely, enzyme-linked immunosorbent immunoassay (ELISA; Salimetrics) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). As previous research has often discussed inter-assay differences but lacked direct comparative for these specific hormones in saliva, this paper compared both techniques on their ability to accurately quantify concentrations estradiol, progesterone, testosterone...
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 crisis generated subjective and physiological stress, with important interindividual differences. Studies have shown that coping strategies sex modulate although their effects on stress hormones been overlooked. In addition, it remains unknown whether interact to predict these metrics during long‐term stressful events. To examine the impact of strategies, sex, interaction indicators year following arrival virus. Coping were assessed using Brief COPE questionnaire in May...
Background and Objectives: Stress is not inherently negative. As youth will inevitably experience stress when facing the various challenges of adolescence, they can benefit from developing a stress-can-be-enhancing mindset rather than learning to fear their responses avoid taking on challenges. We aimed verify whether rapid intervention improved mindsets diminished perceived anxiety sensitivity in adolescents.Design Methods: An online experimental design randomly exposed 233 Canadian youths...
The coronavirus (COVID-19) disease pandemic has been associated with adverse psychological outcomes.

Mixed-methods analyses were used examine differences in COVID-19 mental health outcomes between country a 913, 78% an sample 413, 57% adolescents. adolescents reported increased discussions more concerns related their...
Studies report a growing tendency for students to experience state anxiety in schools. However, the combination of individual susceptibilities likely trigger students' anxious states remains unclear.This study examined whether distinct profiles emerge regarding their susceptibility sensitivity and/or test and evaluated profile predicted states. We also verified varied across gender, school level, type.In total, 1,404 Canadian Grades 5 10 (589 boys; Mage = 15.2, SD 2.1) from 13 public private...
Introduction We read, see and hear news from various media sources every day. A large majority of the is negative. previous study our laboratory showed that reading negative associated with both increased stress reactivity (measured via hormone cortisol) recall segments in women. Objectives The present investigated effects positive on cortisol reactivity, memory affect using a methodology highly similar to was previously used by team. Methods Sixty-two healthy participants aged between 18 35...
Many teens report experiencing anxiety in school, which can negatively impact their well-being. Considering that adolescents tend to adopt the same behaviors as classmates with whom they spend, on average, 923 h every year, current exploratory study (1) assessed whether an association exists between a student’s state score and his/her classmates’ average trait scores (2) examined this differed boys girls, well elementary school high students. During two consecutive years, 1044 Canadian...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate whether attentional bias threat, commonly observed in clinically anxious children, also manifests healthy potentially aiding the early detection of at-risk individuals. Additionally, it sought explore moderating role parent–child attachment security on association between vulnerability factors (anxiety sensitivity, intolerance uncertainty, perseverative cognitions) as indicators anxiety, and towards threat children. A total 95 children aged 8 12 years...
Background and Objectives Friends are major sources of social support for adolescents. This may sometimes lead to co-rumination when the problem is discussed exhaustively with a focus on negative feelings. Co-rumination has been associated some forms anxiety, including clinical symptoms. Further studies needed investigate whether this association extends additional non-clinical anxiety in youth. study aimed explore relationship between trait test sensitivity using secondary data.
