Kvalitatiivne uurimustöö Emotsioonide regulatsioon ja stress
three dimensions of emotion regulation was measured. Participants were stressed
using the TSST test, and the salivary cortisol and plasma IL-6 was measured as
endocrinological markers of the stress response. Multiple regression and correlation
analysis were conducted investigating the main hypothesis. The results show that
hedonistic emotion regulation (HER) and the distress- augmentative emotion
regulation (DAR) were the predictors and AUCg (area under the curve in respect to
ground) and AUCi (area under the curve in respect to increase) were the dependent
variables. Participants, who scored high in HER showed lower cortisol responses,
whereas, individuals who scored high in DAR showed a trend towards higher cortisol
responses. These results indicate that HER is related to a lower cortisol response to
psychosocial stress. In conclusion these results suggest that HER and DAR have an
impact on the cortisol response.
