Intra-individual variability in cortisol levels measured three times a day across three days in 297 early adolescents. A three-level hierarchical model separated variability into within the day (77.3%), day-to day (1.9%), and between individual (20.8%) sources of variability in salivary cortisol after accounting for the steep diurnal decline.
