Acute Reactivity of Individuals With High and Low Levels of Ongoing Stress
Increased negative psychological responses to both a psychological challenge and neutral affective pictures suggest that high-stress individuals process everyday challenging stimuli more negatively. Combined with the blunted ANS responses and potentially altered microbiome, this pattern suggests this high-stress responsive group, while currently healthy, may be at risk for biological stress-related morbidity in the immune, cardiovascular, or pain modulation systems.
