This study investigates the antecedents and outcomes of transformative RSE using a nationally representative longitudinal sample of 10,529 young adults from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health T0 (1994-1995), T1 (2001-2002), and T2 (2008). We examined associations of reporting a transformative RSE at T1 (late adolescence) on a broad range of physical, mental, behavioural, and social health and wellbeing indicators assessed at T2 (early adulthood). Primary analyses controlled for an extensive set of covariates assessed at T0 (early adolescence), with sensitivity analyses employing both liberal (T0 sociodemographic characteristics only) and conservative (contemporaneous covariates taken from T1) adjustment strategies. Antecedents (T0 correlates) of transformative RSE included adverse childhood environments, negative parental dynamics, and heightened religious involvement. Consistent T2 outcomes of transformative RSE involved some markers of mental and social vulnerability (i.e., PTSD diagnosis and loneliness), as well as increased prosocial engagement (i.e., volunteering and voting). These findings support the theorized double-edged sword effect of transformative RSE and suggest the potential role of meaning-making and integration in shaping long-term psychological and social outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51175,"journal":{"name":"Stress and Health","volume":"41 5","pages":"e70110"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12495122/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, one source of developmental impairment is prenatal maternal stress. This umbrella review integrates and summarizes current research on the diverse developmental consequences of prenatal maternal stress caused by natural disasters. The cumulative evidence strongly suggests that the effect of maternal stress during pregnancy does not end after pregnancy but can lead to a wide range of detrimental effects on a child's development throughout the whole lifespan. By synthesizing previous empirical findings, the current review provides an overview about potential congenital developmental difficulties as well as the interdependence of these negative effects. The depicted results highlight a risk of overarching negative effects of prenatal stress for the child. It is stated that in order to prevent possible long-lasting effects this risk has to be effectively taken into account.

The study group consisted of children and adolescents aged 8-18 who applied to the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with anxiety disorders and a healthy control group of similar age and gender. The Sociodemographic and Clinical Data Form, Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders, Children's Depression Inventory, and Clinical Global Impressions Scale were used. Venous blood samples were collected from the participants, and serum Hsp70 and Hsp90 levels were measured using the ELISA method. Serum levels of Hsp70 and Hsp90 were significantly lower in children and adolescents diagnosed with anxiety disorders compared to healthy controls (Hsp70: p = 0.019; Hsp90: p = 0.043). While no significant correlation was found between Hsp levels and disease severity, exposure to early-life stress (ELS) was associated with a significant increase in Hsp70 levels overall (p = 0.005). However, among participants exposed to ELS, those in the anxiety disorder group exhibited a markedly smaller increase in Hsp70 compared to controls with ELS exposure, suggesting a possible dysregulation of the cellular stress response in this clinical population. The results of our study indicate that psychological stress in anxiety disorders may be linked to changes in cellular stress-related mechanisms. The reduction in serum levels of heat shock proteins, which help maintain cellular stability under stress, may contribute to the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders.

However, little is known about the relationship between phasic vmHRV and momentary exhaustion in daily life. To examine this relationship, this preregistered study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) in a sample of N = 151 healthy participants (age = 22.17 years [SD = 4.98 years]; 14.57% male) for three consecutive weekdays. Exploratorily, we examined if individuals with higher chronic exhaustion would show different patterns of phasic vmHRV when perceiving acute stress. We analysed data on momentary (emotional, cognitive, physical) exhaustion, perceived acute stress, ambulatory ECG data and adjusted for relevant covariates (e.g., age, gender, and momentary movement acceleration) using multi-level analyses. After adjusting for preregistered covariates, phasic vmHRV showed a positive association with momentary emotional and cognitive exhaustion, but not with momentary physical exhaustion. Our exploratory analyses revealed that individuals with higher levels of chronic exhaustion did not show the expected negative association between situationally perceived acute stress and phasic vmHRV, whereas those with lover levels did. These findings indicate that momentary exhaustion is associated with increased phasic vmHRV in daily life. Combined with our exploratory results that chronic exhaustion modulates vagal withdrawal under perceived acute stress, this study offers important directions for future research into the link between stress-related exhaustion and autonomic changes.

This study assessed, in this highly competitive environment, the physiological, psychological, and academic predictors of success in the course's final exam, a final hand-to-hand combat match. Male (n = 109) and female (n = 23) cadets completed self-report assessments of resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale; CD-RISC), mental toughness (Mental Toughness Questionnaire; MTQ-10), and aggression (Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire; BPAQ) upon enrolment in Combatives.

Cortisol, testosterone, and secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) in saliva were assessed. Instructors provided match outcome, win versus loss, and each cadet's grade point averages (GPA; academic, military, and physical).

This study examines the mediating role of individual resilience in the relationships between key factors (including demographic variables, political stance, and religiosity) and psychological outcomes (community resilience and psychological distress) across five time points following the October 7 attack. A representative sample of 957 Israeli adults completed surveys at five time points following October 7, 2023. Linear Mixed Models with random intercepts evaluated relationships between demographic and sociopolitical factors and individual resilience, community resilience, and psychological distress. Mediation analyses examined individual resilience as a mechanism connecting these factors to psychological outcomes. Community resilience significantly declined across five time points, whereas individual resilience was consistently positively associated with community and lower psychological distress. Mediation analyses showed that individual resilience explained the effect of gender, age, income, and government support on resilience and psychological distress. The study found that religiosity's impact on individual resilience strengthened over time, yet its protective effect against psychological distress was direct rather than mediated. This study's results show the importance of enhancing individual resilience to mitigate long-term psychological distress and declining community resilience. This study found that individual resilience is a mechanism through which demographic and sociopolitical factors impact community resilience and psychological distress during a prolonged conflict.
