项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is indisputable that health declines with age, and that the rate of decline is not the same for everyone. Many sources of accelerated risk of illness have been identified in prior research, and among the most reliable predictors of ill health are social stressors, including abusive social relations in childhood. Early life adversity may lead to poorer mental health and physical functioning in midlife through various pathways; among the most likely paths are social in origin, including troubled family relationships, heightened sensitivity to interpersonal stressors, and social isolation. Is it possible to interrupt this caus-effect pairing between early adversity and illness in later life? This grant examines that question Specifically, we address whether the individual differences in risk attributable to childhood adversity are reversible through a social intelligence (SI) intervention for an established cohort of community residents who were part of a comprehensive study of biopsychosocial markers of resilience at Mid-Life. We have three primary objectives in this research: (1) to examine whether an SI intervention can enhance the capacity for rewarding social relations, especially for individuals with a history of early life adversity. (2) To examine evidence for our hypothesis that intervention-related gains in the quality of social relationship will be responsible for the improvements in psychological, and physical functioning, and influence two bio- markers of health risk and resilience: interleukin 6 (IL-6) and DHEA-S. (3) To probe for individual differences in age, gender, history of abuse, personality, and genetic markers of risk that identif participants most responsive to the intervention. To address these questions, an SI intervention will be delivered to a random-selected half of 220 middle-aged participants: Half with a history of child abuse and half who did not report abuse. The program is an on-line self-instructional series of videos with awareness exercises and behavioral practices designed to enhance fund of knowledge about relationships, increase skills, and enhance motivation to engage socially. In addition to charting social relations with daily diaries, we will assess participants' social, psychological, and physical functioning at pre-test, post-test, three months, and six months following the intervention. We hypothesize that the SI intervention will prompt lasting improvement in the ability to establish, maintain, and benefit from social relations in comparison to controls, which will lead to better psychological and physical functioning. We will examine evidence for the hypothesis that the benefits of the intervention will be largest for individuals who have experienced greater early childhood adversity, as well as probe other individual differences in receptivity to the SI program that will inform future efforts to refine, test and disseminate this innovative program.

描述（由适用提供）：无可争议的是，健康状况会随着年龄的增长而下降，并且每个人的下降速度并不相同。在先前的研究中已经确定了许多加速疾病风险的来源，在健康状况不佳的最可靠的预测因素中，社会压力源，包括童年时期的虐待社会关系。早期的广告可能会导致通过各种途径，中年的心理健康和身体机能较差；最有可能的途径之一是社会起源，包括陷入困境的家庭关系，对人际压力源的敏感性增强以及社会隔离。是否可以在以后的生命中打断这种因果关系的早期广告与疾病之间的这种效果配对？这项特别是问题的赠款考试，我们解决了归因于儿童逆境的风险中的个体差异是否可以通过社会智能（SI）干预措施来逆转，这是对中年生命中复原性生物心理社会标记的综合研究的一部分既定的社区居民的一部分。在这项研究中，我们有三个主要目标：（1）检查SI干预是否可以增强社会关系的能力，尤其是对于具有早期生活广告历史的个人而言。（2）审查我们的假设的证据与干预相关的社会关系质量收益将负责心理和身体机能的改善，并影响健康风险和韧性的两个生物标志：白介素6（IL-6）和DHEA-S。（3）探究年龄，性别，虐待的历史，个性和遗传标志的个体差异，以确定对干预措施最有反应的参与者。为了解决这些问题，SI干预将被交付给220名中年参与者的随机选择：一半的历史虐待儿童和一半没有报告虐待的人。该计划是一系列在线自我结构的视频系列，具有意识练习和行为实践，旨在增强有关关系，提高技能并增强社会参与动力的知识基金。除了与日记日记绘制社会关系外，我们还将在干预后，测试，三个月和六个月内评估参与者的社会，心理和身体机能。我们假设SI干预将促进与控制相比，从社会关系中建立，维持和受益的能力，这将带来更好的心理和身体机能。我们将研究以下假设的证据：对于那些经历了更大的幼儿广告的个人，干预措施的好处将是最大的，以及对SI计划接受的其他个体差异，这些差异将为未来的努力，以完善，测试和传播这一创新的计划。
