Abstract

In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have validated both one-session and two-session online versions of the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST-OL). In a sample of 82 first-generation college students aged 18-25 from across the U.S. (M_age = 22.30; 75.61 % female; 34.15 % White, 15.85 % Black, 30.49 % Asian, 9.76 % Multiracial, 7.32 % other), we investigated the comparative effectiveness of a one-session and two-session version of the TSST-OL at eliciting a biological stress response. We found no significant differences between the one-session and two-session protocol with respect to cortisol reactivity (i.e., change from baseline to peak, area under the curve with respect to increase, sample peak, and likelihood of demonstrating a response) and self-reported stress during the TSST-OL. The findings indicate that both protocols may be effective at eliciting a stress response. Researchers should consider utilizing a one-session TSST-OL protocol to increase researcher feasibility and make participation more accessible, thereby increasing the representativeness of samples.

期刊介绍： Psychoneuroendocrinology publishes papers dealing with the interrelated disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, neurology, and psychiatry, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary studies aiming at integrating these disciplines in terms of either basic research or clinical implications. One of the main goals is to understand how a variety of psychobiological factors interact in the expression of the stress response as it relates to the development and/or maintenance of neuropsychiatric illnesses.
