Data are presented for the total sample (N = 66), participants in the stress (n = 30) and control (n = 36) conditions, and males (n = 31) and females (n = 35). BMI, body mass index; CD-Risc, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale; PSS, Perceived Stress Scale; SES, subjective socioeconomic status scale. Data represent means (standard errors), t(p) are presented for the differences between stress and control condition and for males and females. Data for educational level is presented in percentages, and X2(p) are presented for the differences between stress and control condition and for males and females.
