Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mikayla D M Joslin's research investigates the interplay between hormonal fluctuations, stress responses, and social-affective processes in adult women. Her work examines variations across the menstrual cycle and the influence of hormonal contraceptives on these dynamics. Joslin has studied cortisol responding and post-stress affiliation in women using different contraceptive methods, as well as those naturally cycling. Additionally, her research has explored the HPA axis stress response to a laboratory-based CO2 challenge in healthy adults.

Her publications include work on women's affiliation across the menstrual cycle, hormonal contraceptives and sociosexuality, and stress response differences. Joslin collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Anastasia Makhanova, Ellen W. Leen‐Feldner, Jamie Walker, and Harrison Dickens, with whom she shares multiple publications.
