“…The use of a young community sample of participants also helped us to minimize the effects of other factors that influence cortisol reactivity, such as current or previous history of a psychiatric disorder or pubertal status. For example, a number of studies have demonstrated that pubertal maturation leads to heightened cortisol responsiveness to stress in females compared to males who have blunted cortisol reactivity to stress tasks conducted under laboratory settings (Dahl and Gunnar, 2009;Gunnar et al, 2009a,b;Sumter et al, 2010). Also, examining cortisol reactivity in early childhood reduces the likelihood that such reactivity is influenced by current mood disorders, which are rare in this age group.…”

“…SaliCaps have been previously used successfully to assess sAA in different studies (for this procedure, see also Schoofs and Wolf, 2009;Sumter et al, 2010). After collection, the samples were stored at −20 • C until analysis (see Rohleder et al, 2004;Strahler, 2012).…”

a b s t r a c tThe empirical evidence for the relationship between autonomy-supportive environments and physiological stress is inconsistent. Whereas some studies report a decrease in stress in autonomy-supportive environments, other studies show a negative effect of autonomy on physiological stress. As previous research has not considered individual differences within this relationship, the present research aims to close this empirical gap by proposing that an implicit autonomy disposition, which is defined as a dispositional preference for self-determination, serves as a moderator. In an experiment, we tested whether the autonomy disposition moderates the effect of different teaching styles (controlling, autonomy-supportive, and neutral) on the acute physiological stress response (salivary alpha-amylase) in adolescents (N = 69). The study revealed that participants with a high implicit autonomy disposition displayed lower salivary alpha-amylase responses when exposed to autonomy-supportive vignettes compared to when they were exposed to controlling or neutral teaching styles. The opposite pattern was found in students with a low implicit autonomy disposition. The results illustrate that experimentally induced variations in autonomy support lead to different physiological stress responses, depending on individual differences in the implicit autonomy disposition.
