Abstract

Cognitive interpretations of stressful events impact their implications for physiological stress processes. However, whether such interpretations are related to trait cortisol—an indicator of individual differences in stress physiology—is unknown. In 112 early adolescent girls (M age = 12.39 years), this study examined the association between self-blame estimates for past year events and latent trait cortisol, and whether maternal warmth moderated effects. Overestimating self-blame (versus objective indices) for independent (uncontrollable) events was associated with lower latent trait cortisol, and maternal warmth moderated the effect of self-blame estimates on latent trait cortisol for each dependent (at least partially controllable) and interpersonal events. Implications for understanding the impact of cognitive and interpersonal factors on trait cortisol during early adolescence are discussed.

There were not significant differences between those who did and did not complete the cortisol assessment on age, income, pubertal status, acute stress, chronic stress, or early adversity (ps > 0.10).

Three siblings of participants and two fathers participated in the study. However, all results remained the same when these individuals were excluded from the analyses.

Each event is classified as independent or dependent, and interpersonal or non-interpersonal. Thus, for example, some of the independent events are interpersonal and some are non-interpersonal. For analyses, there were not sufficient numbers of events to examine self-blame estimates for events stratified by two dimensions (e.g., independent interpersonal events).

In a prior paper in this sample (Stroud et al. 2016a), all 9 samples were used to derive latent trait cortisol. Model fit was unfavorable and none of the factor loadings of bedtime cortisol were significant, suggesting that the bedtime samples were not suitable for constructing the latent trait cortisol. For detailed discussion of why the bedtime samples may not be correlated with the morning samples, see Stroud et al. 2016a, and Doane et al. 2015.
