European journal of psychotraumatology

Brosschot JF.
PMID: 28451075
Eur J Psychotraumatol. 2017 Apr 10;8(1):1309934. doi: 10.1080/20008198.2017.1309934. eCollection 2017.

Stress, whether daily stress, work stress or traumatic stress, is unhealthy. This lecture covers three recent theoretical approaches in explaining the mechanisms underlying the influence of psychological stress on somatic health. It is argued that stress research should focus...

The Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test: Validity and Relationship with Cardiovascular Stress-Responses.

Frontiers in psychology

van der Ploeg MM, Brosschot JF, Thayer JF, Verkuil B.
PMID: 27065908
Front Psychol. 2016 Mar 30;7:425. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00425. eCollection 2016.

Self-report, i.e., explicit, measures of affect cannot fully explain the cardiovascular (CV) responses to stressors. Measuring affect beyond self-report, i.e., using implicit measures, could add to our understanding of stress-related CV activity. The Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test...

Conscious and unconscious perseverative cognition: is a large part of prolonged physiological activity due to unconscious stress?.

Journal of psychosomatic research

Brosschot JF, Verkuil B, Thayer JF.
PMID: 20846542
J Psychosom Res. 2010 Oct;69(4):407-16. doi: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2010.02.002. Epub 2010 Apr 08.

Prolonged physiological activity is believed to be a key factor mediating between stress and later disease outcomes. Few studies, however, have investigated the crucial psychological factors that cause prolonged activity. This article proposes that conscious as well as unconscious...

Ambulatory assessed implicit affect is associated with salivary cortisol.

Frontiers in psychology

Mossink JC, Verkuil B, Burger AM, Tollenaar MS, Brosschot JF.
PMID: 25713550
Front Psychol. 2015 Feb 10;6:111. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00111. eCollection 2015.

One of the presumed pathways linking negative emotions to adverse somatic health is an overactive HPA-axis, usually indicated by elevated cortisol levels. Traditionally, research has focused on consciously reported negative emotions. Yet, given that the majority of information processing...

Markers of chronic stress: prolonged physiological activation and (un)conscious perseverative cognition.

Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews

Brosschot JF.
PMID: 20096302
Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2010 Sep;35(1):46-50. doi: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2010.01.004. Epub 2010 Jan 21.

In daily life, not stressful events themselves but their sustained cognitive representation is likely to cause prolonged physiological activity, which is believed to lead to a pathogenic state and finally somatic disease. The typically human ability to make cognitive...

Small Intestinal Levels of the Branched Short-Chain Fatty Acid Isovalerate Are Elevated during Infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Can Promote Helminth Fecundity.

Infection and immunity

Kennedy MHE, Brosschot TP, Lawrence KM, FitzPatrick RD, Lane JM, Mariene GM, Wasmuth JD, Reynolds LA.
PMID: 34460289
Infect Immun. 2021 Nov 16;89(12):e0022521. doi: 10.1128/IAI.00225-21. Epub 2021 Aug 30.

Heligmosomoides polygyrus is a helminth which naturally infects mice and is widely used as a laboratory model of chronic small intestinal helminth infection. While it is known that infection with

Work Stressors, Perseverative Cognition and Objective Sleep Quality: A Longitudinal Study among Dutch Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) Pilots.

Journal of occupational health

Radstaak M, Geurts SA, Beckers DG, Brosschot JF, Kompier MA.
PMID: 25355201
J Occup Health. 2014 Oct 28; Epub 2014 Oct 28.

Objectives: This longitudinal study examined the associations between work stressors, perseverative cognition and subjective and objective sleep quality. We hypothesized work stressors to be associated with (i) poor nocturnal sleep quality and (ii) higher levels of perseverative cognition during...

Expanding stress theory: prolonged activation and perseverative cognition.

Psychoneuroendocrinology

Brosschot JF, Pieper S, Thayer JF.
PMID: 15939546
Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2005 Nov;30(10):1043-9. doi: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2005.04.008.

Several theories of the stress-disease link have now incorporated prolonged activation. This article argues that these theories still lack an important element, that is, the cognitive nature of the mechanism that causes stress responses to be sustained. The perception...

Changing Mental Health and Positive Psychological Well-Being Using Ecological Momentary Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Journal of medical Internet research

Versluis A, Verkuil B, Spinhoven P, van der Ploeg MM, Brosschot JF.
PMID: 27349305
J Med Internet Res. 2016 Jun 27;18(6):e152. doi: 10.2196/jmir.5642.

BACKGROUND: Mental health problems are highly prevalent, and there is need for the self-management of (mental) health. Ecological momentary interventions (EMIs) can be used to deliver interventions in the daily life of individuals using mobile devices.OBJECTIVES: The aim of...

Current perspectives on symptom perception in asthma: a biomedical and psychological review.

International journal of behavioral medicine

Rietveld S, Brosschot JF.
PMID: 16250683
Int J Behav Med. 1999;6(2):120-34. doi: 10.1207/s15327558ijbm0602_2.

Symptom perception in patients with asthma is often inadequate. Patients may fail to perceive serious airway obstruction or suffer from breathlessness without objective cause. These extremes are associated with fatal asthma and excessive use of medicines, respectively. This article...

Modulatory effects of defense and coping on stress-induced changes in endocrine and immune parameters.

International journal of behavioral medicine

Olff M, Brosschot JF, Godaert G, Benschop RJ, Ballieux RE, Heijnen CJ, de Smet MB, Ursin H.
PMID: 16250779
Int J Behav Med. 1995;2(2):85-103. doi: 10.1207/s15327558ijbm0202_1.

We examined whether habitual defense and coping affect the response of hormones (ACTH. cortisol, prolactin. endorphins, and noradrenaline) and immune parameters (numbers of T cells. B cells. natural killer [NK] cells, and proliferative responses to mitogens or antigens) to...

Rumination as a mediator of chronic stress effects on hypertension: a causal model.

International journal of hypertension

Gerin W, Zawadzki MJ, Brosschot JF, Thayer JF, Christenfeld NJ, Campbell TS, Smyth JM.
PMID: 22518285
Int J Hypertens. 2012;2012:453465. doi: 10.1155/2012/453465. Epub 2012 Feb 16.

Chronic stress has been linked to hypertension, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly specified. We suggest that chronic stress poses a risk for hypertension through repeated occurrence of acute stressors (often stemming from the chronic stress context) that cause...
