be a warning sign for physical or mental 47 . To study this, scientists often monitor cortisol (皮质醇) or heart rate variations throughout the day and during trying tasks.
48 , the intensity of these responses seems to be set from a young age. Studies have shown that people who experienced childhood hardships—including physical punishment and a(n) 49 home—are more likely to have quiet stress reactions as adults. For example, as part of a study published in 2012, Lovallo exposed 354 participants to moderate stress. People who self-reported early-life 50 actually had lower heart rates and cortisol levels than other participants. While the study tasks were not important, the individuals’ underreactions suggest their stress response may also have trouble 51 when it really matters. It can be just as 52 as an extreme response. Other research has found links between childhood conflict, abnormally low adult stress and substance misuse. Though the biology is not fully understood, it’s suggested that early-life neglect or suffering 53 the body’s stress pathways.
Even before birth, a child can 54 parental stress. The phenomenon is well-demonstrated in rats and mice, and some papers have shown the same association 55 . For example, babies born to mothers who survived the 9/11 attacks all had low cortisol levels. 41. A. stressors 43. A. improve 44. A. Valuable 45. A. coping 46. A. adults 47. A. functions 48. A.
