Abstract
We investigated differences in cortisol and hassles across tripartite depression and anxiety dimensions. Daily data of undergraduates was analyzed using generalized-estimating equations and multilevel-models. Steeper cortisol slopes predicted more hassles. Positive affect predicted increased afternoon levels. Results provide neuroendocrine evidence for tripartite dimensions and indicate cortisol indices operate somewhat uniquely.
