Abstract

Valid approaches to conveniently measure stress reactivity are needed due to the growing evidence of its health-impairing effects. This study examined whether the Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale (PSRS) predicts cardiovascular and psychological responses to psychosocial stressors during daily life and during a virtual reality (VR) Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Medical students answered a standardized baseline questionnaire to assess perceived stress reactivity by the PSRS. The PSRS asks participants to rate the intensity of their typical affective responses to common stressors during daily life. They were further asked to participate in a VR-TSST and in an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) over a period of three consecutive workdays during daily life. Blood pressure and self-reported stress were repeatedly, heart rate variability (HRV) continuously measured during the VR-TSST and EMA. Furthermore, participants repeatedly assessed task demands, task control and social conflict during the EMA. Data was analysed using multilevel analysis and multiple linear regression. Results indicate that the PSRS moderates associations between blood pressure (but not HRV) and demands and control during daily life. Furthermore, the PSRS directly predicted self-reported stress, but did not moderate associations between self-reported stress and demands, control and social conflict. The PSRS did not predict physiological and self-reported stress responses to the VR-TSST. This study partly confirmed convergent validity of the PSRS to stress reactivity in daily life. Furthermore, the lack of association between the PSRS and stress responses to the VR-TSST calls for future studies to search for reliable and valid ways to assess stress reactivity.

在生态瞬间评估和参与虚拟现实版特里尔社会压力测试期间,将感知压力反应量表与生理和自我报告的压力反应进行比较
由于越来越多的证据表明压力会损害健康,因此需要有效的方法来方便地测量压力反应性。本研究考察了感知压力反应性量表(PSRS)是否能预测日常生活中和虚拟现实(VR)特里尔社会压力测试(TSST)中对社会心理压力的心血管和心理反应。医学生回答了一份标准化基线问卷,以 PSRS 评估感知压力反应性。PSRS 要求参与者评定其对日常生活中常见压力的典型情感反应强度。此外,还要求他们在日常生活中连续三个工作日参加 VR-TSST 和生态瞬间评估(EMA)。在 VR-TSST 和 EMA 过程中,反复测量血压和自我报告的压力,并持续测量心率变异性(HRV)。此外,参与者还在 EMA 期间反复评估任务要求、任务控制和社会冲突。我们使用多层次分析和多元线性回归对数据进行了分析。结果表明,PSRS 可调节血压(而非心率变异)与日常生活中的需求和控制之间的关系。此外,PSRS 可直接预测自我报告的压力,但不能调节自我报告的压力与需求、控制和社会冲突之间的关系。PSRS 无法预测 VR-TSST 的生理反应和自我报告的压力反应。本研究部分证实了 PSRS 与日常生活中压力反应的趋同有效性。此外,由于 PSRS 与 VR-TSST 的压力反应之间缺乏关联,今后的研究需要寻找可靠有效的方法来评估压力反应性。

期刊介绍: Biological Psychology publishes original scientific papers on the biological aspects of psychological states and processes. Biological aspects include electrophysiology and biochemical assessments during psychological experiments as well as biologically induced changes in psychological function. Psychological investigations based on biological theories are also of interest. All aspects of psychological functioning, including psychopathology, are germane. The Journal concentrates on work with human subjects, but may consider work with animal subjects if conceptually related to issues in human biological psychology.
