Key result
Trait dominance was positively associated with cardiovascular reactivity to social stressors among females but negatively associated among males, with no impact on nonsocial stressors.
Why the study?
Does trait dominance influence cardiovascular reactivity to social and nonsocial stressors differently in men and women?
Cross-Sectional (n=80)
Does trait dominance influence cardiovascular reactivity to social and nonsocial stressors differently in men and women?
Trait dominance has gender-specific effects on cardiovascular reactivity to social stress, appearing adaptive in men and potentially maladaptive in women.

Should not yet change clinical assessment of dominance; hypothesis-generating for sex-moderated stress reactivity.
Hughes et al. (2006) reported a cross-sectional. Trait dominance was evaluated on Cardiovascular reactivity to social and nonsocial stressors. Trait dominance was positively associated with cardiovascular reactivity to social stressors among females but negatively associated among males, with no impact on nonsocial stressors.
