Significant results are bolded. Separate models were run for each type of stressor and outcome. All models control for parent and child gender, parent age and race, parent education, parent industry, day of week (weekend or weekday), BMI, and average number of parent stressors. Physical symptom models also control for medication use. Cortisol models also control for medication use, tobacco use, time of sample, and time compliance. Coefficients are unstandardized. Sample sizes for each type of stressor are: negative affect: n = 287; bedtime cortisol: n = 277; physical symptoms n = 284. Asterisks indicate coefficients that became nonsignificant when adjusted for the false discovery rate (FDR).
