Lab reactivity shows limited generalizability to daily settings; leaves open ecological validity of standardized stress tasks for real-world prediction.
Does the setting (laboratory vs. non-laboratory) affect the generalizability of cardiovascular reactivity change scores during a standardized math task in females?
Cardiovascular reactivity to stress shows lower correlation between laboratory and real-world settings compared to test-retest within the lab, indicating that setting alone significantly affects generalizability.
