“…Our findings add to the limited existing research indicating that depressive symptoms can be associated with elevated cortisol responses to stress among individuals without psychiatric diagnoses (Powers et al, 2016;Puig-Perez et al, 2016). Our results also indicate that previously observed relationships between anxiety symptoms and blunted cortisol responses to stress are not limited to men or older adults (Brooks & Robles, 2009;de Rooij et al, 2010).…”

“…Results have been mixed. One recent study of healthy older adults found that depressive symptoms predicted elevated cortisol responses to social stress among healthy older adults (Puig-Perez, Villada, Pulopulos, Hidalgo, & Salvador, 2016). Conversely, a larger study, also consisting of older adults, reported decreased reactivity with increasing depressive symptoms (de Rooij, Schene, Phillips, & Roseboom, 2010).…”

Background: Anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder (MDD) have been associated with increased and blunted HPA axis reactivity to social stress. However, research focusing on associations between HPA axis responses to stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression among individuals without a diagnosis remains an understudied area of research. Methods: One hundred forty-three adults (52% female) completed the Trier Social Stress est (TSST). Symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed prior to the TSST using the anxiety and depression subscales of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). HPA axis responses were assessed by measuring salivary cortisol at baseline and following the TSST. Reactivity to and recovery from stress were assessed using multilevel growth modeling controlling for age, BMI, and sex among the full sample and a subset of cortisol responders (n=72). Results: Anxiety symptoms were positively associated with flatter recovery slopes among the full sample (t(122.3)=2.082, p=.039). Among cortisol responders, depression symptoms were associated with steeper reactivity (t(63.32)=2.53, p=.026) and recovery (t(58.75)=−2.20, p=.03). Anxiety symptoms were associated with marginally flatter reactivity (t(64.00)=−1.97, p=.053) and significantly flatter recovery (t(59.22)=2.29, p=.025). Conclusion: Symptoms of anxiety and depression among individuals without a psychiatric diagnosis are associated with blunted and exaggerated cortisol responses to and recovery from

“…Importantly, in previous studies it has been demonstrated that depression symptoms, rumination, trait self-efficacy, self-esteem, and perceived stress may affect the HRV and cortisol response to stress (e.g., Chopra et al, 2009;Kemp et al, 2010;Key et al, 2008;O'Donnell et al, 2008;Pruessner et al, 2005;Puig-Perez et al, 2016;Salvador and Costa, 2009;Schönfeld et al, 2007;Schull et al, 2016;Vrshek-Schallhorn et al, 2018;Zoccola and Dickerson, 2012). Therefore, given that individual differences in these psychological factors may mask group differences in the HRV and cortisol response, we investigated whether anticipatory HRV response, HRV response to stress, AUCi and cortisol reactivity were significantly related to these baseline questionnaires.…”

“…Further, when participants were instructed to use reappraisal during an acute stressor, they exhibited a greater cortisol response than their counterparts who were given no instruction (Denson et al, 2014). As an elevated HPA axis response is typically viewed as detrimental to health (e.g., Kirschbaum et al, 1995; Morris & Rao, 2014; Puig-Perez et al, 2016), these findings raise the question of how an adaptive emotion regulation strategy, such as reappraisal, and a maladaptive strategy, such as suppression, could both give rise to elevated HPA axis stress reactivity.…”

Stressful life events (SLEs) are exceedingly common and have been associated with a range of psychological disorders, perhaps through dysregulation in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The use of certain emotion regulation strategies in response to stress, such as expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal, has additionally been linked to heightened HPA axis reactivity to acute stress. However, it is unclear how emotion regulation may interact with SLEs to affect HPA axis reactivity, particularly concerning relationship stressors (RSs). Using cross-sectional data from 117 men and 85 women aged 18-55 years old (M = 39.9 ± 10.7), we investigated whether trait use of suppression or reappraisal interacted with recent negatively perceived SLEs and relationship stressors to impact HPA axis response to an acute stressor. Separate area under the curve and linear mixed models revealed that trait suppression interacted with SLEs and RSs to predict cortisol response to stress, while reappraisal did not. Findings indicate higher trait expressive suppression may influence the cortisol response to acute stress after exposure to more recent stressful events, particularly when those stressful events include relationship stress.
