“…Seven studies assessed cortisol output at different times of the day and either reported on differences in the slope of change in cortisol as a function of victimization status, or mean levels of cortisol output at different times of day based on victimization status. Four of these studies also reported additional outcomes, including reactivity, as reported above (Knack et al, ), total cortisol output (González‐Cabrera, Calvete, León‐Mejía, Pérez‐Sancho, & Peinado, ; Peters, Riksen‐Walraven, Cillessen, & Weerth, ), and CAR (Brendgen et al, ; González‐Cabrera et al, ; Knack et al, ). Three of the studies reporting findings on diurnal slope showed a blunted pattern of cortisol response among victimized youth relative to non‐victimized or less victimized youth (Brendgen et al, ; Knack et al, ; Peters et al, , for exclusion [relational victimization]).…”
