DESCRIPTION (Applicant's abstract): Social relationships have been reliably related to morbidity and mortality. However, the joint contribution of positive and negative aspects of social relationships, and its association to health, has not been adequately examined. In the proposed research, we present a general conceptual model suggesting that an individual's social network members may be heuristically categorized as sources of positivity (i.e., social support), sources of negativity (i.e., social aversion), or sources of both positivity and negativity (i.e., social ambivalence). The major aims of this research are to examine (a) the utility of this general conceptual framework for analyzing the health effects of social relationships and (b) potential mechanisms responsible for links between social relationships and health at differing levels of analysis (e.g.. health behaviors, psychological states, physiological function). We pursue these aims in 6 integrative studies. In our first two studies, we investigate the prevalence, mental health correlates, and ambulatory cardiovascular correlates of these different categories of social relationships. Studies 3 and 4 utilize laboratory paradigms to examine cardiovascular reactions to situations involving different categories of social relationships. In the first of these studies, we explore if the activation of a schemata associated with a supportive, aversive, or ambivalent network tie is associated with differences in cardiovascular reactivity. In our second laboratory study, we examine if supportive behaviors reduce cardiovascular reactivity to acute stress when the network member is a source of ambivalence. Study 5 investigates the developmental processes that may influence the formation of different social networks. Finally we examine an application of our model to a biologically significant outcome using an influenza vaccination paradigm (study 6). Importantly, our preliminary research provides evidence for the feasibility and potential of the proposed research.

描述（申请人的摘要）：社会关系是可靠的 与发病率和死亡率有关。 但是， 社会关系的积极和消极方面及其关联 对健康，尚未得到充分检查。 在拟议的研究中，我们 提出一个一般概念模型，表明个人的社会 网络成员可能会被启发为积极的来源 （即社会支持），消极的来源（即社会厌恶）或 阳性和消极的来源（即社会矛盾）。 这 这项研究的主要目的是检查（a）该将军的实用性 分析社会健康影响的概念框架 关系和（b）负责之间联系的潜在机制 分析水平的社会关系和健康（例如 健康行为，心理状态，生理功能）。 我们在6个综合研究中追求这些目标。 在我们的前两个研究中，我们 调查患病率，心理健康相关和卧床 这些不同类别的社会类别的心血管相关 关系。 研究3和4利用实验室范例检查 对涉及不同类别的情况的心血管反应 社会关系。 在这些研究的第一个研究中，我们探讨了是否 激活与支持性，厌恶性或 矛盾的网络领带与心血管差异有关 反应性。 在我们的第二项实验室研究中，我们检查了是否支持 当网络时，行为降低了对急性应力的心血管反应性 成员是矛盾的根源。 研究5研究了发展 可能影响不同社交网络形成的过程。 最后，我们研究了我们的模型对生物学意义的应用 使用流感疫苗接种范式的结果（研究6）。 重要的是，我们的 初步研究为可行性和潜力提供了证据 拟议的研究。
