It involves a combination of social-evaluative threat and uncontrollable tasks, such as public speaking and mental arithmetic, which induce moderate stress responses in participants. The TSST is particularly effective in eliciting responses in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and it is commonly used to investigate the effects of stress on various physiological and psychological variables. \r\n(sciencedirect.com)", "id": "tsk_Qa4kXAzvUyaGL", "type": "task", "conditions": [], "concepts": [], "indicators": [], "external_datasets": [], "implementations": [], "citation": [], "contrasts": [], "batteries": [], "disorders": []}
