Abstract

Classic theories of stress and health are largely based on assumptions regarding how different psychosocial stressors influence biological processes that, in turn, affect human health and behavior. Although theoretically rich, this work has yielded little consensus and led to numerous conceptual, measurement, and reproducibility issues. Social Safety Theory aims to address these issues by using the primary goal and regulatory logic of the human brain and immune system as the basis for specifying the social-environmental situations to which these systems should respond most strongly to maximize reproductive success and survival. This analysis gave rise to the integrated, multi-level formulation described herein, which transforms thinking about stress biology and provides a biologically based, evolutionary account for how and why experiences of social safety and social threat are strongly related to health, well-being, aging, and longevity. In doing so, the theory advances a testable framework for investigating the biopsychosocial roots of health disparities as well as how health-relevant biopsychosocial processes crystalize over time and how perceptions of the social environment interact with childhood microbial environment, birth cohort, culture, air pollution, genetics, sleep, diet, personality, and self-harm to affect health. The theory also highlights several interventions for reducing social threat and promoting resilience.

社会安全理论:概念基础、潜在机制和未来方向。
压力和健康的经典理论在很大程度上是基于关于不同的心理社会压力源如何影响生物过程的假设,而生物过程又反过来影响人类的健康和行为。尽管理论丰富,但这项工作几乎没有达成共识,并导致了许多概念、测量和再现性问题。社会安全理论旨在通过使用人类大脑和免疫系统的主要目标和调节逻辑作为基础来解决这些问题,以确定这些系统应对最强烈的社会环境状况,从而最大限度地提高生殖成功和生存率。这一分析产生了本文所述的综合、多层次的表述,它改变了对压力生物学的思考,并为社会安全和社会威胁的体验如何以及为什么与健康、幸福、衰老和寿命密切相关提供了一个基于生物学的进化解释。在这样做的过程中,该理论提出了一个可测试的框架,用于调查健康差异的生物心理社会根源,以及与健康相关的生物心理过程如何随着时间的推移而结晶,以及对社会环境的感知如何与儿童微生物环境、出生队列、文化、空气污染、遗传、睡眠、饮食、个性和自残相互作用,从而影响健康。该理论还强调了减少社会威胁和提高复原力的几种干预措施。
