Article Synopsis
- The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) is a common method to induce stress in participants but requires in-person administration, which is challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- This study aimed to validate an online version of the TSST (TSST-OL) for children, using video conferencing and remote saliva sample collection.
- Results showed significant stress responses measured through cortisol levels and self-reported stress, indicating that the TSST-OL effectively activates the stress response in a remote setting, although females reported higher stress levels than males.
