CTQ, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire; SLE, Stressful Life Events. The covariate time represents time of saliva collection since awakening.

* p <.05, ** p <.01, *** p <.001.

^aReference category = Follicular phase.

^bReference category = Burst 1.

^cCortisol data were log-transformed and winsorized to three standard deviations of the sample mean.
