Biobehavioral Mechanisms of Emotion, Stress and Health Study Section [MESH]

[MESH Membership Roster] [MESH Meeting Rosters]

The Biobehavioral Mechanisms of Emotion, Stress and Health Study Section reviews applications on the bidirectional interactions of stress, emotion, and physical and mental illness and health, with an emphasis on underlying biological mechanisms. Specific areas covered include:

Subjective emotional states, emotional expression, regulation of emotion and mood, socioemotional development, emotional consequences of life events and stressful conditions, resilience, and cognitive influences on emotion, stress, and coping.
Bidirectional relationships of affect and stress with psychological function, neurobiological, neuroendocrine, and immune substrates. Methods include neuroimaging, imaging, psychophysiology, cardiovascular reactivity, respiratory function, HPA axis, arousal, and startle.
Clinical studies of the interactions of sleep and circadian rhythm with stress and health.
Influence of personality, affective and cognitive factors, temperament, genetic predispositions, developmental and family experiences, marital status, social relationships, sexual identity, gender, age, ethnicity, culture, and socioeconomic status on affect and stress and their linked CNS and ANS processes.
Effects of affect and stress on cognitive and motor function, pain and other symptom perception, participation in daily life activities, subjective well-being and quality of life, and social interaction, coping processes and outcomes.
Biological responses to acute or chronic psychological stress and their moderation by individual, situational, or environmental factors or physiological factors.
