Data from a series of experiments performed on 24 female and 24 male subjects were used to evaluate the consistency in urinary catecholamine and cortisol excretion. Data were available from 8 laboratory situations of varying activity level and content, spaced at intervals of maximum 3 months. Correlational analyses showed that for cortisol, interindividual consistency was higher for measures obtained on the same day than for measures obtained on different days. Interindividual consistency was generally high in catecholamine and cortisol excretion during non-stressful situations in both sexes. During experimental stress, however, consistency was as high as during nonstress for males, while it was lower for females. Analysis of variance components confirmed these results and showed that in males variation due to interindividual differences was high during both baseline and experimental-stress situations, while in females it was high during baseline situations only. During experimental stress, variation for females was due primarily to interaction. It is suggested that the males showed a more generalized stress response over situations than the females.
对24名女性和24名男性受试者进行的一系列实验数据用于评估尿儿茶酚胺和皮质醇排泄的一致性。数据来自8种不同活动水平和内容的实验室情况，间隔最长为3个月。相关分析表明，对于皮质醇，同一天获得的测量值的个体间一致性高于不同天获得的测量值。在无压力情况下，两性儿茶酚胺和皮质醇排泄的个体间一致性通常较高。然而，在实验性应激期间，男性的一致性与非应激期间一样高，而女性的一致性较低。方差成分分析证实了这些结果，并表明在男性中，个体间差异导致的变异在基线和实验性应激情况下都很高，而在女性中仅在基线情况下很高。在实验性应激期间，女性的变异主要归因于相互作用。建议男性比女性在不同情况下表现出更普遍的应激反应。
