“…Collection of salivary data involves a simple non-invasive procedure (Sanchez-Martin, Cardas, Ahedo, Fano, Echebarria, & Azpiroz, 2001). Four saliva samples were collected from each participant throughout the laboratory session, as described below, using the 'Salivette' device (Sarstedt, Montreal, Canada), which consists of a cotton swab in a capped plastic tube.…”

“…Additionally, later work by Gunnar, Sebanc, Tout, Donzella, and van Dulmen (2003) reveals both direct and indirect pathways linking a combination of surgency and poorer effortful control with HPA axis activity via aggression and peer rejection. Classroom observation studies have also revealed a significant association between social isolation and cortisol levels in 4-year-old preschool children (Sanchez-Martin et al, 2001). The directional relationship with cortisol in these studies was dependent on the meaning of the isolation behavior for the child.…”

This study examined psychosocial influences on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in 105 4-year-old children transitioning to primary school. Measuring before, during, and after school transition over a period of up to 12 months, salivary cortisol was assessed on awakening and early evening. Parents reported child temperament and teachers recorded adaptive behavior. Whilst cortisol at awakening and early evening increased from baseline to school transition, effects were not significant. A significant decrease occurred between transition and follow-up and from baseline to follow-up for both awakening and evening cortisol. Poorer effortful control was associated with high morning and steeper diurnal slope of cortisol at transition whilst surgency/extroversion was associated individually with greater morning and evening cortisol at transition and adaptation. Greater increase in internalizing social isolation during the first 6 months of school in more surgent/extrovert children predicted higher morning and evening cortisol at follow-up. This study is the first to explore these adaptive relationships over a 12-month period and supports social isolation over time as a key element in developmental endocrine activation.

“…Thus, we considered the possible differences in HSV antibody in the context of any nonspecific changes in total antibody secretion [secretory Ig-A (sIgA)]. Previous studies had documented that acute stressful events lower total sIgA secretion; in contrast, our a priori prediction was that adolescents who experienced chronic adversity would have elevated levels of HSV-specific antibody, indicating a longer-term impaired immune competence (46,47).…”

It is well known that children need solicitous parenting and a nurturing rearing environment to ensure their normal behavioral development. Early adversity often negatively impacts emotional and mental well-being, but it is less clearly established how much the maturation and regulation of physiological systems is also compromised. The following research investigated the effect of 2 different types of adverse childhood experiences, early deprivation through institutionalization and physical abuse, on a previously unexplored outcome: the containment of herpes simplex virus (HSV). The presence of HSV-specific antibody in salivary specimens was determined in 155 adolescents, including 41 postinstitutionalized, 34 physically-abused, and 80 demographically-similar control youth. Across 4 school and home days, HSV antibody was higher in both postinstitutionalized and physically-abused adolescents when compared with control participants. Because the prevalence of HSV infection was similar across the groups, the elevated antibody was likely indicative of viral recrudescence from latency. Total secretory Ig-A secretion was associated with HSV, but did not account for the group differences in HSV-specific antibody. These findings are likely caused by a failure of cellular immune processes to limit viral reactivation, indicating a persistent effect of early rearing on immune functioning. The fact that antibody profiles were still altered years after adoption into a more benevolent setting with supportive families suggests these results were not caused by contemporaneous factors, but rather reflect a lingering influence of earlier life experiences. child development ͉ early experience ͉ health ͉ immune ͉ risk
