So what kind of differences do you see then in your research between individuals?
3:06
Yeah, that's true.

So yeah, of course, we all encounter stressors in daily life, but individuals can indeed differ in how they experience these stressors and also in the way their stress responses kind of unfold.

So when a stressor happens in daily life, first people typically have like an immediate response, right? So we call this reactivity in research.

So for example, imagine two people, Sarah and Malou, let's say.

And they both received the same critical email from a colleague in the morning at work.

And from the outside, the stressor looks exactly the same, right? They both received this critical message, but then their immediate response, so their reactivity can look very different actually.
