Cortisol awakening response and psychosocial factors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

In the citing paper

“According to a meta-analysis, higher CARs are associated with increased appraisals of general life and job stress (Chida & Steptoe, 2009).”

In the citing paper

“However, negative affect, anxiety, and rumination are not reliably associated with the CAR (Chida & Steptoe, 2009; Zoccola &Dickerson, 2012).”

In the citing paper

“Specifically, CAR may be a unique component of the HPA-axis, representing its response to awakening, and is less likely to be influenced by stressors throughout the day.32,33”

In the citing paper

“Furthermore, it has been concluded in a systematic review that a lower post-awakening increase in cortisol was associated with higher symptoms of fatigue, burnout or exhaustion [60].”

In the citing paper

“A meta-analysis of 62 studies revealed considerable heterogeneity in findings linking psychosocial functioning to the CAR (Chida & Steptoe, 2009).”

In the citing paper

“AUCw was positively related to general life stress but negatively related to posttraumatic stress (Chida & Steptoe, 2009).”

In the citing paper

“Chida and Steptoe (2009) described seven different types of psychosocial predictors: job stress, general life stress (non-work-related), depression, anxiety (including neuroticism and negative affect), fatigue/burnout/exhaustion, posttraumatic stress, and positive psychosocial traits.”

In the citing paper

“CARi was positively correlated with job stress and general life stress but negatively correlated with fatigue, burnout, or exhaustion and not reliably associated with positive affect.”

In the citing paper

“In studies in which both CARi and AUCw were measured, their relationships to measures of psychosocial functioning were not the same (e.g., Bhattacharyya et al., 2008; Chida & Steptoe, 2009; Ellenbogen et al., 2006; Mommersteeg et al., 2006; Sonnenschein et al., 2007; Whitehead et al., 2007)”

In the citing paper

“AUCw was positively related to general life stress but negatively related to posttraumatic stress (Chida & Steptoe, 2009).”

In the citing paper

“CARi was positively correlated with job stress and general life stress but negatively correlated with fatigue, burnout, or exhaustion and not reliably associated with positive affect.”

In the citing paper

“CARi was positively correlated with job stress and general life stress but negatively correlated with fatigue, burnout, or exhaustion and not reliably associated with positive affect.”

In the citing paper

“Heterogeneity in the literature linking psychosocial functioning to the CAR is the rule rather than the exception”

In the citing paper

“in four of seven types of psychosocial predictors, studies showing both positive and negative associations exist (Chida & Steptoe, 2009)”

In the citing paper

“CARi was positively correlated with job stress and general life stress but negatively correlated with fatigue, burnout, or exhaustion and not reliably associated with positive affect.”

In the citing paper

“Chida and Steptoe (2009) described seven categories of psychosocial predictors that have been associated with the CAR: job stress, general life stress, depression, anxiety, fatigue/burnout/exhaustion, posttraumatic stress, and positive psychosocial traits.”

In the citing paper

“This heterogeneity is partially the result of methodological and operationalization inconsistencies across studies and potential measure-dependent and/or predictor-specific associations (Chida & Steptoe, 2009; Stadler et al., 2016).”

In the citing paper

“These small effects were similar to those reported by Chida and Steptoe (2009), with r's ranging from -.065 to .069 depending on the specific predictor.”

In the citing paper

“This corroborates meta-analytic results from Chida and Steptoe (2009).”

In the citing paper

“Of the seven categories previously defined by Chida and Steptoe (2009), it was found that only fatigue/burnout/exhaustion was negatively correlated with CARi.”
