Stress Response Patterns and Health
Description / Outline
Human life is characterized by repeated acute stress experiences. Biological stress systems respond in different ways to repeated stress exposure, of which some can be considered as adaptive, while others might be considered as maladaptive. In our research focus "Stress Response Patterns and Health" we address the following important questions:
-
How do different biological systems respond to repeated acute stress?
-
Which psychological processes determine or moderate adaptation of biological stress response systems?
-
What are the long-term health effects of specific stress response patterns?
- How can we change acute stress response patterns using psychological or other interventions?
