Self-esteem, social support, internalized homophobia, and coping strategies of HIV+ gay men.
The relationship was examined between self-esteem, social support, internalized homophobia, and coping strategies used by HIV-positive (HIV+) gay men (N = 89) and between the use of coping strategies and mood state. Multiple regressions were conducted with avoidant (escape avoidance, accepting responsibility) and proactive (seeking social support, planful problem solving) coping serving as criterion variables. Greater homophobia and less self-esteem predicted avoidant coping, whereas less homophobia and less time since diagnosis predicted proactive coping. Greater time since diagnosis, less avoidant coping, less homophobia, and greater self-esteem predicted better mood state and accounted for 50% of the total variance.

Repression, hostility, and autonomic recovery from a laboratory stressor.
The current study investigated hostile mood, response style (repression-sensitization [RS]), and cardiovascular (blood pressure and heart rate) as well as endocrine recovery (cortisol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) from a 10-minute mental task in 57 healthy, adult women. Emphasis was placed on resting levels and recovery from, rather than the more frequently studied initial responses to, mental stress tasks. The task consisted of the "Electrocardiogram Quiz" (shortened version) and mental arithmetic (serial subtraction) of equal length, totaling 10 minutes. Physiological/biochemical samples were collected at the end of a 15-minute adaptation phase (i.e., the designated baseline), at the end of the mental task phase and at 5-minute and 30-minute recovery. R-S and hostility scale scores were not correlated and permitted the creation of four subsamples: 1) repressor-low expressed hostility; 2) repressor-high expressed hostility; 3) sensitizer-low expressed hostility; and 4) sensitizer-high expressed hostility. Results indicated that tonic levels of SBP and DBP were consistently higher in subjects with low expressed hostility. Cortisol level and phasic activity discriminated between high expressed hostility-sensitizers and the other three samples, with the former displaying more cortisol activity at baseline and at 30-minute recovery. Women on birth control pills had consistently elevated levels of cortisol secretion throughout.
