Meta-analytical assessment of the effects of protocol variations on cortisol responses to the Trier Social Stress Test

Highlights • The TSST reliably induced strong cortisol responses with an effect size of d = .93. • Peak cortisol stress responses occurred 38 minutes post TSST onset. • Most effective TSST: Afternoon, neutral feedback, 3-member mixed gender jury panel. • Catheter placement may potentially sensitize...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The TSST reliably induced strong cortisol responses with an effect size of d = .93. • Peak cortisol stress responses occurred 38 minutes post TSST onset. • Most effective TSST: Afternoon, neutral feedback, 3-member mixed gender jury panel. • Catheter placement may potentially sensitize participants to a subsequent stressor. • Length of pre-TSST acclimation period may have less impact on cortisol responses.
