Cortisol reactivity as a function of condition (sexist = 0, merit = 1) and chronic perceptions of sexism (mean centered) at (a) Time 2, (b) Time 3, and (c) Time 4 (i.e., stressor onset +20, 30, and 40 minutes, respectively). Graphed at +/−1 SD from chronic perceptions of sexism mean, controlling for perceptions of anxiety, depression, perceptions of personal control, day of menstrual cycle, number of minutes since waking, age, number of hormone reactivity influencing factors, and baseline cortisol (mean centered).
