Is low cortisol release an indicator of positive health?
Abstract
Compared to the knowledge of physiological processes associated with stress, ill‐health, and disease, the understanding of physiological processes associated with positive psychological functioning is lagging behind. The present study aimed to examine the relationships between psychological well‐being and physiological indicators, including blood pressure, catecholamines, and cortisol. Initial questionnaires concerning demographic information, work characteristics (decision authority, job demands, and skill discretion), physical symptoms, nicotine use, and Ryff's Psychological Well‐Being scales (RPWB) which cover self‐acceptance, environmental mastery, positive relations with others, personal growth, purpose in life and autonomy, were completed by a group of highly educated white‐collar workers. Subsequent assessments of blood pressure, urinary catecholamines, and salivary cortisol were performed during two separate workdays. Analyses of data from 12 women and 11 men revealed that individuals with high psychological well‐being had significantly lower total cortisol output than individuals with low psychological well‐being (p < 0.01), while no significant differences emerged for blood pressure and catecholamines. Further, individuals with high psychological well‐being had significantly lower levels of general (p < 0.01) as well as musculoskeletal symptoms (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the findings suggest a link between positive psychological functioning and lowered cortisol rele…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
