Note: N= Number of observations. Intensity of daily academic stressors indicate the average intensity (1=Not at all negative ~ 4= Extremely negative) of up to three negative academic events reported in daily survey. Cortisol (nmol/l) raw means and standard deviations are reported, per day. Missing data occurred due to different consent processes used between self-reports and hormone collection in School 1; and also excused/unexcused absences, conflicts with course schedules or school events for some students, or voluntary withdrawal.
