DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Social relationships have been reliably related to lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Most of this research has been interpreted as reflecting the beneficial influences of social support. However, the joint contribution of positive and negative aspects of relationships in the context of support processes has hot been adequately considered. In addition, little is known of the mechanisms linking relationships to cardiovascular outcomes. In the present research we propose a conceptual model that makes salient the separability of positive and negative aspects of relationships during support. This framework suggests that an individual's social support network can be heuristically classified as sources of positivity (i.e., support), negativity (i.e., aversion), or both positivity and negativity (i.e., ambivalence). This framework, combined with existing relationships and health models, makes salient mechanisms linking relationships to health at different levels of analysis. Thus, the major aims of this application are to (a) examine the utility of this model for analyzing the health effects of relationships, and (b) to elucidate basic psychological, behavioral, and physiological mechanisms linking relationships to cardiovascular outcomes. We pursue these aims in five integrative studies. In three studies, we investigate the links between differing relationships and cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to acute stress by utilizing social-cognitive paradigms that (a) manipulate perceptions of relationship quality and (b) disrupt or activate psychological processes associated with existing relationships. A fourth study will address the generalizability of these lab-based protocols by testing the association between social relationships and daily life ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) following work in married couples. A final study will examine the links between relationships and recent immune markers of inflammation that confer increased risk for cardiovascular disease in an older, more health-relevant population of married couples. All of the above studies will assess basic mechanisms to help elucidate the processes by which relationships may influence cardiovascular function in each paradigm. Importantly, our preliminary research provides evidence for the feasibility and potential of the proposed research.

描述（由申请人提供）：社会关系与较低的心血管发病率和死亡率有可靠的关系。这项研究的大部分被解释为反映了社会支持的有益影响。但是，在支持过程的背景下，关系的正面和负面方面的共同贡献已得到充分考虑。此外，对将关系与心血管结局联系起来的机制知之甚少。在本研究中，我们提出了一个概念模型，该模型使支持期间关系的正面和负面方面的可分离性。该框架表明，个人的社会支持网络可以被启发归类为积极的来源（即支持），消极情绪（即厌恶），或者是阳性和负面性（即矛盾）。该框架与现有的关系和健康模型相结合，使在不同分析水平的关系中将关系与健康联系起来。因此，本应用的主要目的是（a）检查该模型对分析关系的健康影响的实用性，以及（b）阐明将关系与心血管结局联系起来的基本心理，行为和生理机制。我们在五项综合研究中追求这些目标。在三项研究中，我们通过利用社会认知范式（a）操纵对关系质量的看法以及（b）破坏或激活与现有关系相关的心理过程，研究不同关系与心血管反应性与心血管反应性之间的联系。第四项研究将通过在已婚夫妇工作后测试社会关系与日常生活血压（ABP）之间的关联来解决这些基于实验室的方案的普遍性。一项最终研究将研究关系与炎症的最新免疫标记之间的联系，这些联系赋予了与健康相关的已婚夫妇人群中心血管疾病的风险增加。以上所有研究将评估基本机制，以帮助阐明关系可能影响每个范式中心血管功能的过程。重要的是，我们的初步研究为拟议研究的可行性和潜力提供了证据。
