The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity
Open accessAbstract
This paper presents the Adaptive Calibration Model (ACM), an evolutionary-developmental theory of individual differences in the functioning of the stress response system. The stress response system has three main biological functions: (1) to coordinate the organism's allostatic response to physical and psychosocial challenges; (2) to encode and filter information about the organism's social and physical environment, mediating the organism's openness to environmental inputs; and (3) to regulate the organism's physiology and behavior in a broad range of fitness-relevant areas including defensive behaviors, competitive risk-taking, learning, attachment, affiliation and reproductive functioning. The information encoded by the system during development feeds back on the long-term calibration of the system itself, resulting in adaptive patterns of responsivity and individual differences in behavior. Drawing on evolutionary life history theory, we build a model of the development of stress responsivity across life stages, describe four prototypical responsivity patterns, and discuss the emergence and meaning of sex differences. The ACM extends the theory of biological sensitivity to context (BSC) and provides an integrative framework for future research in the field.

“In most species, males tend to engage in higher mating effort and lower parental effort than females (Geary, 2002; Kokko and Jennions, 2008; Trivers, 1972).”

The cited paper returned no full-text snippets, so the claim cannot be checked against its text. An unscoped search found a close discussion of males favoring more mating and less parenting in “Sex differences in the Dark Triad are sensitive to socioeconomic conditions” (score 0.694), but that passage credits other sources and does not establish what Kokko and Jennions (2008) say. The match falls below the rubric’s misattribution threshold; the attribution remains unverifiable. (LLM, conf=0.68)

In the paper
“Frequent, intense SNS/HPA activation carries information about extrinsic morbidity-mortality and environmental unpredictability; consequently, it tends to shift LH strategies toward the fast end of the LH continuum. In contrast, a safe environment and the buffer provided by investing, secure caregivers result in infrequent and low-intensity activation of the SNS and HPA axis, and shift development toward slow strategies oriented to high somatic effort and parental investment.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-24 (prompt extract-v1).
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.
