Note. Cortisol reactivity was denoted by the highest cortisol value observed following the stressor, and cortisol recovery by the cortisol value 45 min post-stressor. Affective reactivity was denoted by the lowest mood rating reported following the stressor, and affective recovery by the mood rating 45 min post-stressor. Elsewhere (i.e., in statistical models), reactivity and recovery refer to maximum cortisol/ minimum affect or 45-min values with baseline cortisol and affect included as covariates

IB = interpretation bias (Scrambled Sentences Task); B_Cort. = baseline cortisol; C_Reac. = cortisol reactivity; C_Reco. = cortisol recovery; B_Aff. = baseline affect (higher scores = better mood at baseline); A_Reac. = affective reactivity (reverse-coded, such that higher scores = greater reactivity); A_Reco. = affective recovery (higher scores = better mood at recovery); DEP = depression symptoms (R-CADS Low Mood subscale); ANX = anxiety symptoms (mean of R-CADS anxiety subscales); CT = childhood trauma (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire); SMR = pubertal status (Tanner Sexual Maturation Ratings); Sex = participant sex (0 = male, 1 = female)
