Abstract The term "stress response" regards the activation of rapid response systems to deal with environmental challenges, making energy readily available and thus facilitating behavioral and physiological changes that promote adaptive responses (Gunnar & Hostinar, 2015; McEwen, 1998). However, stress responses come at a cost - for example, by attenuating immune and anti-inflammatory processes - so it is essential that they are modulated in terms of their duration and energy expenditure. These modulatory processes - which are believed to include maternal sensitivity - can be described as buffers of the stress response (Morrison, 2016). This work aims to analyze the links between maternal sensitivity at 6 and 10 months and infants' endocrine stress responses at 12 months. | |
