Experimental timeline and cortisol sampling. Cortisol sampling occurred at three time points during each 20-minute stress protocol. Sample 1 occurred immediately prior to beginning the 20-minute stressor, Sample 2 occurred upon completion of the stressor, and Sample 3 was taken 20 minutes following completion of the stressor. This figure also identifies the tasks completed within each 5-minute period of the stress protocols (that is, T1 = minutes 0 to 5; T2 = minutes 6 to 10; T3 = minutes 11 to 15; T4 = minutes 16 to 20), with the Trier Social Stress Test – child version (TSST-C) displayed above and the Peer Interaction Playground Paradigm (PEER) displayed below the timeline.
