Abstract
Objective: To examine the association of social desirability (SD) responding (“defensiveness”) and cortisol levels. Methods: Marlowe–Crowne SD scores and morning salivary cortisol were measured in firefighters. Results: SD scores were associated with higher cortisol levels (r=.28) in 60 firefighters under age 45, but not in 25 older firefighters (or the combined sample). Conclusion: The results are consistent not only with SD scores being an indicator of coarctation of experience as a coping mechanism, but also (at least for younger persons) perhaps a risk factor for the psychobiological dysfunctions associated with chronic elevations of cortisol.

Results: SD scores were associated with higher cortisol levels (r=.28) in 60 firefighters under age 45, but not in 25 older firefighters (or the combined sample). Conclusion: The results are consistent not only with SD scores being an indicator of coarctation of experience as a coping mechanism, but also (at least for younger persons) perhaps a risk factor for the psychobiological dysfunctions associated with chronic elevations of cortisol.</p></abstract><textClass xml:lang="en"><keywords scheme="keyword"><list><head>Keywords</head><item><term>Social desirability</term></item><item><term>Cortisol</term></item><item><term>Stress</term></item></list></keywords></textClass></profileDesc><revisionDesc><change when="2000">Published</change></revisionDesc></teiHeader></istex:fulltextTEI><json:item><extension>txt</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>text/plain</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/4D4EDC8C41D3E669010DC0E0B612E39C1F4264C4/fulltext/txt</uri></json:item></fulltext><metadata><istex:metadataXml wicri:clean="Elsevier, elements deleted: body; tail"><istex:xmlDeclaration>version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"</istex:xmlDeclaration><istex:docType PUBLIC="-//ES//DTD journal article DTD version 4.5.2//EN//XML" URI="art452.dtd" name="istex:docType"></istex:docType><istex:document><converted-article version="4.5.2" docsubtype="sco" xml:lang="en"><item-info><jid>PSR</jid><aid>5594</aid><ce:pii>S0022-3999(00)00169-0</ce:pii><ce:doi>10.1016/S0022-3999(00)00169-0</ce:doi><ce:copyright type="full-transfer" year="2000">Elsevier Science Inc.</ce:copyright></item-info><head><ce:dochead><ce:textfn>Short communication</ce:textfn></ce:dochead><ce:title>Social desirability scores are associated with higher morning cortisol levels in firefighters</ce:title><ce:author-group><ce:author><ce:given-name>Stuart</ce:given-name><ce:surname>Brody</ce:surname><ce:cross-ref refid="AFF1"><ce:sup>a</ce:sup></ce:cross-ref><ce:cross-ref refid="CORR1">*</ce:cross-ref><ce:e-address>brody@fpp.uni-trier.de</ce:e-address></ce:author><ce:author><ce:given-name>Dieter</ce:given-name><ce:surname>Wagner</ce:surname><ce:cross-ref refid="AFF1"><ce:sup>a</ce:sup></ce:cross-ref></ce:author><ce:author><ce:given-name>Markus</ce:given-name><ce:surname>Heinrichs</ce:surname><ce:cross-ref refid="AFF2"><ce:sup>b</ce:sup></ce:cross-ref></ce:author><ce:author><ce:given-name>Alma</ce:given-name><ce:surname>James</ce:surname><ce:cross-ref refid="AFF3"><ce:sup>c</ce:sup></ce:cross-ref></ce:author><ce:author><ce:given-name>Dirk</ce:given-name><ce:surname>Hellhammer</ce:surname><ce:cross-ref refid="AFF1"><ce:sup>a</ce:sup></ce:cross-ref></ce:author><ce:author><ce:given-name>Ulrike</ce:given-name><ce:surname>Ehlert</ce:surname><ce:cross-ref refid="AFF2"><ce:sup>b</ce:sup></ce:cross-ref></ce:author><ce:affiliation id="AFF1"><ce:label>a</ce:label><ce:textfn>Center for Psychobiological and Psychosomatic Research, University of Trier, Friedrich-Wilhelm Strasse 23, Trier D-54290, Germany</ce:textfn></ce:affiliation><ce:affiliation id="AFF2"><ce:label>b</ce:label><ce:textfn>Clinical Psychology, University of Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland</ce:textfn></ce:affiliation><ce:affiliation id="AFF3"><ce:label>c</ce:label><ce:textfn>Mid- and West Wales Fire Service and University of Swansea, Wales, UK</ce:textfn></ce:affiliation><ce:correspondence id="CORR1"><ce:label>*</ce:label><ce:text>Corresponding author.
