本研究的目的是评估 132 名 14-18 岁青少年的心理压力、性别和皮质醇对压力的反应与危险行为的关系。参与者在计算机化心理压力任务之前和之后立即完成一项基于实验室的风险任务，并收集从压力前到初始压力暴露后 60 分钟的唾液皮质醇。结果表明，青春期男孩 (n = 59) 和女孩 (n = 73) 在应对压力时表现出不同的冒险 (RT) 模式，男孩在暴露于压力后表现出冒险 (RT) 增加，而女孩则表现出冒险 (RT) 下降。此外，皮质醇相互作用的性别表明，对于男孩来说，较小的总皮质醇输出量 (AUCg) 和皮质醇对压力的峰值反应 (PC) 与较大的压力诱导 RT 相关。这两种皮质醇测量值与女孩中压力诱导的 RT 无关。总而言之，数据表明，在男孩中，皮质醇对压力的反应迟钝，是心理压力下冒险行为增加的基础。在得出关于女性性别、皮质醇对压力的反应以及心理压力背景下的冒险行为之间关系的结论之前，需要对额外的行为压力任务进行进一步的研究。
The purpose of this study was to evaluate how psychological stress, gender and cortisol response to stress relate to risk behavior among 132 14–18 year old adolescents. Participants completed a laboratory based risk task prior to and immediately after a computerized psychological stress task, and salivary cortisol was collected from pre-stress to 60 minutes following initial stress exposure. Results indicate that adolescent boys (n = 59) and girls (n = 73) demonstrate different patterns of risk taking (RT) in response to stress, such that boys evidenced an increase in RT following stress exposure, whereas girls evidenced a decrease in RT. In addition, a gender by cortisol interaction demonstrated that for boys, both a smaller total cortisol output (AUCg) and peak cortisol response to stress (PC) was associated with greater stress-induced RT. Both cortisol measures were unrelated to stress-induced RT among girls. Taken together, data suggest that among boys, a blunted cortisol response to stress underlies an increase in risk taking in the context of psychological stress. Further research with an additional behavioral stress task is needed prior to drawing conclusions regarding the relation between female gender, cortisol response to stress, and risk taking in the context of psychological stress.
