“…With accomplishments, one experiences PA (Snyder 2002;Snyder et al 1996) and derives satisfaction from life (Sahan et al 2012). Adolescence has been recognized as a particularly stressful period of life (Hostinar and Gunnar 2013). Increased academic demands are one of the achievement-related stressors reported at this life stage (Hankin et al 2007;Mezulis et al 2010).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the mediation roles of academic selfefficacy, social self-efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy on the relationships between parental involvement (i.e., paternal involvement and maternal involvement) and subjective well-being (i.e., positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction) in Malaysian adolescents. Participants were 802 Malaysian high school students from 14 public schools, with an age range of 15-17 years. Results of a multiple mediator model indicated that academic self-efficacy and social self-efficacy were unique mediators in the relationships between parental involvement (both paternal involvement and maternal involvement) and adolescent positive affect. Besides, academic self-efficacy was found to be the only unique mediator in the relationships between parental involvement and adolescent life satisfaction. Emotional self-efficacy did not uniquely mediate the relationships between parental involvement and adolescent positive affect and life satisfaction. None of the proposed mediators uniquely mediated the relationships between parental involvement and adolescent negative affect. This study suggests that paternal involvement is just as crucial to adolescent positive development as maternal involvement. In addition, this study also extends our insight into the specific roles of academic, social, and emotional self-efficacy in the relationship between parental involvement and the components of subjective wellbeing among adolescents.

“…Specifically, the occupation of GRs inhibits glucose utilization in the brain, contrary to MRs, which facilitate glucose metabolism. As a result, the occupation of GRs may have deleterious effects if stress is prolonged, and alterations in the ratio of GR/MR may increase these risks (Hostinar and Gunnar, 2012).…”

“…McEwen (2008) explains that both hyperactivity and hypoactivity of the HPA axis have been linked to pathological functioning of the brain and other physiological systems, with alterations in basal regulation and reactivity to stressors implicated as possible mechanisms of disorder (reviewed in Hostinar and Gunnar, 2012). It is hypothesized that the relationship between stress and optimal functioning can be represented as an inverted U-curve, with too much or too little stimulation associated with lower functioning than medium-level stimulation.…”

“…Animal models of chronic prenatal and postnatal stress show increases in basal glucocorticoid levels, alterations of GR/MR ratios, and increased vulnerability to stressors later in life. Cirulli et al (2003) report that in rodent models, prolonged maternal separation as a pup is related to larger startle responses, greater freezing and anxiety behaviors, and two to three times the ACTH and GC response to stress as adults compared to those who experienced only brief separations as pups (reviewed in Hostinar and Gunnar, 2012). Increased vulnerability to stress and altered stress system activity are also seen in adults and children who have experienced childhood maltreatment, deprivation, or chronic stress.…”

“…This period of hyporesponsiveness mimics the stress hyporesponsive period that researchers have studied in rat pups between 4 and 14 days of age, and it is uncertain whether infants enter the functional equivalent of this period during the first year of life. By 1 year of age, infants typically show no increases in cortisol to stressors such as separations or stranger approach, even while exhibiting significant behavioral distress (Hostinar and Gunnar, 2012). Research suggests that physiological changes including improved negative feedback regulation of the HPA axis and decreased adrenocortical sensitivity to ACTH, may at least partially explain hyporesponsiveness of the system during this period.…”

This study examined recent stress exposure and effortful coping effects on salivary cortisol (sC) response patterns in preadolescent boys and girls (N = 121, M = 10.60 years). Children were exposed to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) and one of two randomly assigned, post-TSST coping conditions: distraction and avoidance. Piecewise growth multilevel modeling did not link children's recent stressful life events or hair cortisol (hC) levels to sC reactivity, though each interacted with coping condition to predict sC recovery patterns. Children with elevated life stressor and hC levels demonstrated protracted sC recovery when primed with distraction, yet more efficient sC recovery when primed with avoidance. Findings challenge assumptions about universally "good" and "bad" coping by highlighting contexts where each succeed and fail in helping children manage acute stress physiology.
