A Stress Inducing Speech Task was used to investigate the contribution of perceived stress, individual traits, and current mood states to individual differences in salivary cortisol responses. Additionally, we examined the correspondence between laboratory baseline cortisol levels and overall levels in daily life, and between cortisol responses to the speech task and a measure of stress reactivity to stressful events in daily life. Forty-two 'high stress' and forty-five 'low stress' white-collar males completed the speech task and an Experience Sampling study, in which stressful daily events and cortisol levels were monitored for five days. No association was found between perceived stress, trait anxiety, anger, depression, psychosomatic symptoms, coping style or personality and cortisol responses to the speech task. Negative mood state at baseline was associated with higher cortisol levels at baseline just before, and just after, the speech. Laboratory and field cortisol levels were moderately correlated, but no association was found between laboratory and field response measures. Laboratory baseline levels, but not responses to the speech task, were significant predictors of field cortisol levels.
采用应激诱导言语任务来研究感知应激、个体特质和当前情绪状态对唾液皮质醇反应个体差异的影响。此外，我们还考察了实验室基线皮质醇水平与日常生活中总体水平之间的对应关系，以及言语任务的皮质醇反应与日常生活中应激事件应激反应测量值之间的对应关系。42名“高应激”和45名“低应激”白领男性完成了言语任务和一项经验取样研究，在该研究中，对紧张的日常事件和皮质醇水平进行了为期五天的监测。在感知应激、特质焦虑、愤怒、抑郁、身心症状、应对方式或人格与言语任务的皮质醇反应之间未发现关联。基线时的负性情绪状态与言语任务之前和之后的基线时较高的皮质醇水平相关。实验室和现场皮质醇水平呈中度相关，但在实验室和现场反应测量值之间未发现关联。实验室基线水平而非言语任务的反应是现场皮质醇水平的显著预测指标。
