Document Summary
Bernard, k. , butzin-dozier, z. , rittenhouse, j. , & dozier, m. (2010). Cortisol production patterns in young children living with birth parents vs. children placed in foster care following involvement of child protective services. A typical daytime cortisol pattern is characterized by a high waking value (peaking at about 30 minutes after waking), followed by a rapid decline and then a slow drop-off across the day, reaching a nadir(low point) at bedtime. Young children who have experienced neglect often differ from children from low-risk environments in showing a more blunted pattern of cortisol production across the day. Those in the cps-involved group who stayed with their birth parents showed flatter slopes in waking to bedtime values (they were the worst off). Foster care may have a regulating influence on children"s cortisol among children who have experienced maltreatment. Mccrory, e. , de brito, s. a. , & viding, e. (2010). Research review: the neurobiology and genetics of maltreatment and adversity.
