Title:	EMOTION-CORTISOL TRANSACTIONS OCCUR OVER MULTIPLE TIME SCALES IN DEVELOPMENT: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH ON EMOTION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMOTIONAL DISORDERS.
Authors:	Adam, Emma K.
Source:	Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development. 2012, Vol. 77 Issue 2, p17-27. 11p. 1 Diagram, 1 Chart.
Subjects:	Behavior disorders in children, Saliva analysis, Adrenocortical hormones, Child development, Circadian rhythms, Emotions, Experience, Genetics, Psychophysiology, Research, Self-management (Psychology), Time, Disease risk factors
Abstract:	The article discusses hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) axis as an allostatic system and chronometric model. It also discusses circadian changes and importance of considering multiple influences on Cortisol. A purely genetic model of individual differences in HPA-axis functioning allows change only in the next generation with changes in the genome. It was concluded that understanding the dynamic quality of cortisol hormone is important.
