Abstract
The development of ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring has provided the behavioral scientist with a methodology to identify and study factors responsible for individual differences in systolic (S) and diastolic (D) blood pressure (BP) in the natural environment. Although ABP monitoring does not give the investigator the control over experimental conditions offered by traditional laboratory testing, it does provide a means to study the individual as he or she responds to the physical and psychological demands that they normally encounter during the day. Furthermore, ABP monitoring provides a method to study the influence of these demands on systems that are important for the long-term regulation of BP, such as the renin-angiotensin system and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal system.
