Abstract

Alpha-amylase responses to stress in college students were examined. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: speaking about debt repayment, speaking about course planning, or writing about course planning. While alpha-amylase increased in all participants during stress, the magnitude of the alpha-amylase response did not differ by condition.
