PSYC23H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Telomere, Cortisol, Biofeedback
Document Summary
Evidence shows that it doesn(cid:495)t differ btn dads vs moms. Children looked away more & more dazed/tired: this could be a regulatory strategy, parents are presumed to be number 1 in helping regulate infant stress. Regulation and reparation: the length of your telomere correlates with longevity of life. High responsiveness and high risk long telomere. Low responsiveness & low risk env short telomere. Hidden regulators: more mechanistic explanation for how the dyad is regulating each other. Not only about mothers: reunion is the same. Not as dramatic as still face: control group doesn(cid:495)t recover as well. Still face shows more recovery still face is a powerful effect, but you cant say its all bc of the violated contingency of the mother it could be bc of diff things ie being in a lab. Being stuck in the chair (control group)
