Regression-based point estimates of the differences in messenger RNA (mRNA) expression for glucocorticoid receptor (GR) following the experience of a recent targeted rejection major life event (n = 17) for participants reporting different levels of subjective social status (SSS). At visits when participants had experienced a recent targeted rejection major life event, they exhibited less mRNA for GR, p = .01, d = −.42. Moreover, this association was moderated by SSS, p = .02, with a simple slopes analysis revealing that youth higher in SSS showed the steepest declines in expression of GR following targeted rejection, p = .004, d = −.59. Individual bars represent the point estimate (not observed means) for GR mRNA based on the multilevel model regression coefficients (N = 121).
