Positive Affect and Resilience in Tertiary Education Students
Stress. 2023 Aug 4:1-16. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2245484. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMental illnesses are the greatest health problems faced by younger people. As a group, tertiary education students demonstrate higher levels of distress than their age matched peers who are not tertiary students, making them an at-risk group for the development of psychopathology. Therefore, this study investigates existing theories of resilience in order to determine how it may be promoted in tertiary education students. Data relating to affect, depression, anxiety, distress and resilience were collected from 1072 tertiary education...

Examination of the Role of Adrenergic Receptor Stimulation in the Sensitization of Neuroinflammatory-Based Depressive-Like Behavior in Isolated Guinea Pig Pups
Stress. 2023 Aug 2:1-16. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2239366. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEarly-life attachment disruption appears to sensitize neuroinflammatory signaling to increase later vulnerability for stress-related mental disorders, including depression. How stress initiates this process is unknown, but studies with adult rats and mice suggest sympathetic nervous system activation and/or cortisol elevations during the early stress are key. Guinea pig pups isolated from their mothers exhibit an initial active behavioral phase characterized by anxiety-like vocalizing. This is followed by inflammatory-dependent depre...

Psychological, endocrine and polygenic predictors of emotional well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic in a longitudinal birth cohort
Stress. 2023 Jul 31:1-29. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2234060. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the lives of families and the well-being of both parents and their children. Various factors, including prenatal stress, dysregulated stress response systems, and genetics may have influenced how the stress caused by the pandemic impacted the well-being of different family members.The present work investigated if emotional well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic could be predicted by developmental stress-related and genetic factors. Emotional well-being of 7-10 year-old children (n = 263) and ...

Burnout among high school students is linked to their telomere length and relatedness with peers
Stress. 2023 Jul 25:1-31. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2240909. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSchool burnout is a serious concern, as it impairs students' health and academic success. According to the Conservation of Resources Theory, burnout results from the depletion of personal coping resources and can be counteracted by supportive social relationships. However, it is not yet clear how students' relatedness with their peers is linked to their burnout. Next to students' self-reported fatigue, biomarkers such as telomere length (TL), which presents an indicator of ageing, complement stress research. To identify school-relat...
