Abstract
We examine the mechanism underlying the effect of caregiver-child relationship quality on diurnal cortisol rhythm among children affected by parental HIV/AIDS. Our findings indicate that higher caregiver-child relationship quality was significantly related to higher social competence, which in turn was associated with a “healthier” diurnal cortisol rhythm.
