This clip examines research into the link between childhood stress and the hormone cortisol. It shows an experiment by Marilyn Essex in which children’s cortisol levels are measured when they meet a stranger, which is a situation that often makes a child feel stressed. The experiment demonstrates how cortisol levels correlate with how the child reacts to the strange situation. The video also suggests that cortisol can affect health and other physical conditions if levels remain high.
