Title: | Effects of Video-Relayed Social Support on Hemodynamic Reactivity and Salivary Cortisol During Laboratory-Based Behavioral Challenge | Contributor(s): | Thorsteinsson, Einar B (author)![]() |
Publication Date: | 1998 | DOI: | 10.1037/0278-6133.17.5.436 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20988 | Abstract: | The authors tested the effects of a laboratory analogue of social support on reactivity to laboratory-based behavioral challenge. Video-relayed supportive commentary was provided by a same-sex confederate while participants (40 healthy men and women assigned to support and no-support groups) performed a demanding computer task, and their heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and salivary cortisol were measured. The authors found that heart rate and cortisol level (but not blood pressure) were attenuated in the support condition for both genders. Objective performance on the task was similar in both groups, but the social support group reported higher levels of perceived support and rated the task as easier than did participants in the no-support condition. Video presentation offers new opportunities for systematically examining social support and its effects. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/A79531526 | Source of Publication: | Health Psychology, 17(5), p. 436-444 | Publisher: | American Psychological Association | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1930-7810 0278-6133 |
