特里尔社会压力测试（TSST）是心理神经内分泌学中最广泛使用的实验室压力协议。尽管TSST很受欢迎，但令人惊讶的是，很少有人尝试探索TSST的生态有效性。在本研究中，31名年轻健康受试者（24名女性）在单独一天完成口腔检查前约4周暴露于TSST。唾液皮质醇水平显着增加，以回应这两个刺激（TSST：F（2.21，66.33）=5.73，p =0.004;口试：F（1.98，59.28）=4.38，p =0.017），具有相似的平均响应曲线，皮质醇增加与响应曲线下面积之间存在显著相关性（增加：r=0.67; AUC：r =0.56; p均
The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) is the most widely used laboratory stress protocol in psychoneuroendocrinology. Despite its popularity, surprisingly few attempts have been made to explore the ecological validity of the TSST. In the present study, 31 young healthy subjects (24 females) were exposed to the TSST about 4 weeks before completing an oral exam on a separate day. Salivary cortisol levels increased significantly in response to both stimuli (TSST: F(2.21, 66.33) =5.73, p =0.004; oral exam: F(1.98, 59.28)=4.38, p =0.017) with similar mean response curves and significant correlations between cortisol increases and areas under the response curves (increase: r=0.67; AUC: r =0.56; both p
