What the study found
Combined cortisol, blood-pressure and heart-rate reactivity/recovery components into a proposed resilience index associated with mental-health measures. Heart rate and blood pressure showed different recovery comparisons with baseline.
Scope & limitations
248 participants aged 18–45; 56.0% women; recruitment in Hong Kong.
A derived index in one dataset needs independent validation. Baseline nonsignificance does not prove equivalence, and association with mental health does not establish intervention benefit.
Population & sample
248 participants aged 18–45; 56.0% women; recruitment in Hong Kong.
Exposure or intervention
TSST; principal-component integration of physiological responses; predictor analysis.
Outcomes
Reactivity and recovery component scores, combined index and mental-health associations.
Time frame
Acute task protocol; online December 2025, journal issue 2026.
Research funding
Central Reserve Allocation Committee, The Education University of Hong Kong, grant 04A39 to W. K. Hou (as reported in the funding statement).
Research conflicts of interest
The authors declare no competing interests.
