Resilience & Cortisol_2020

Data of a study examining the association between trait resilience and salivary cortisol in 49 Chinese undergraduates. Saliva samples were collected from participants 6 times per day over 3 consecutive days with compliance monitored by MEMS track caps. The Chinese version of the Brief Resilience Scale (Lai & Yue, 2014) was used to measured trait resilience. It was hypothesized that higher resilience would be associated with a stronger CAR and a steeper diurnal slope. The paper based on the revised data set has been accepted for publication. The dataset was revised because a different computation formula was used for CAR. To avoid confusion, data associated with CAR, DS and AUCg have been removed in the revised dataset.

本数据集源自一项探究49名中国大学生特质韧性（trait resilience）与唾液皮质醇（salivary cortisol）之间关联的研究。研究人员连续3天、每日6次采集参与者的唾液样本，并通过MEMS追踪帽监测样本采集依从性。本研究采用由Lai与Yue于2014年编制的《简版韧性量表》中国修订版，评估参与者的特质韧性。研究假设：更高水平的特质韧性将与更强的皮质醇觉醒反应（Cortisol Awakening Response, CAR）以及更陡峭的日间皮质醇斜率相关。基于该修订后数据集的研究论文已被学术期刊录用待刊。本次数据集修订的原因是，针对CAR的计算采用了新的公式。为避免混淆，修订后的数据集已移除所有与CAR、日间斜率（Diurnal Slope, DS）以及皮质醇曲线下面积（Area Under the Curve relative to Ground, AUCg）相关的数据。
