Document Summary
What is the empirical evidence differential susceptibility: 1st high vs low immune compromise stress vs respiratory problems, 2nd non human primates categorized as high reactive or low reactive to novel stimuli. Year of study (low stress year vs high stress year) vs number of injuries. Low reactive monkeys are less sensitive to environmental stress they remained average in number of injuries. High reactive monkeys are more sensitive to environmental stress in low environmental stress they had a low number of injuries, in high environmental stress they had a high number of injuries. Similarities between exogenous and endogenous environments: can vary from good to bad, can be stable, can change and be dynamic, can be conceptually as well as empirically orthogonal to some biological susceptibility factors. Must first demonstrate independence of the variables: can create and shape one"s own internal and external environment. Measuring the endogenous environment: measures of brain activity looking at frequency bands.
