Abstract

Social Safety Theory hypothesizes that developing and maintaining friendly social bonds is a fundamental organizing principle of human behavior and that threats to social safety are a critical feature of psychological stressors that increase risk for disease. Central to this formulation is the fact that the human brain and immune system are principally designed to keep the body biologically safe, which they do by continually monitoring and responding to social, physical, and microbial threats in the environment. Because situations involving social conflict, isolation, devaluation, rejection, and exclusion historically increased risk for physical injury and infection, anticipatory neural-immune reactivity to social threat was likely highly conserved. This neurocognitive and immunologic ability for humans to symbolically represent and respond to potentially dangerous social situations is ultimately critical for survival. When sustained, however, this multilevel biological threat response can increase individuals' risk for viral infections and several inflammation-related disease conditions that dominate present-day morbidity and mortality.

社会安全理论:从生物学的进化角度看生活压力、健康和行为。
社会安全理论(Social Safety Theory)假设,发展和维持友好的社会纽带是人类行为的基本组织原则,而对社会安全的威胁是增加疾病风险的心理压力的关键特征。这一理论的核心是,人类大脑和免疫系统的主要设计目的是保持身体的生物安全,它们通过不断监测和应对环境中的社会、物理和微生物威胁来实现这一目的。由于历史上涉及社会冲突、孤立、贬低、拒绝和排斥的情况会增加身体受伤和感染的风险,因此神经免疫系统对社会威胁的预期反应可能是高度保守的。人类的这种神经认知和免疫能力象征性地代表并应对潜在的危险社会环境,最终对生存至关重要。然而,当这种多层次的生物威胁反应持续存在时,会增加个体感染病毒和多种炎症相关疾病的风险,而这些疾病在当今的发病率和死亡率中占主导地位。

期刊介绍: The Annual Review of Clinical Psychology is a publication that has been available since 2005. It offers comprehensive reviews on significant developments in the field of clinical psychology and psychiatry. The journal covers various aspects including research, theory, and the application of psychological principles to address recognized disorders such as schizophrenia, mood, anxiety, childhood, substance use, cognitive, and personality disorders. Additionally, the articles also touch upon broader issues that cut across the field, such as diagnosis, treatment, social policy, and cross-cultural and legal issues. Recently, the current volume of this journal has transitioned from a gated access model to an open access format through the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. All articles published in this volume are now available under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY), allowing for widespread distribution and use. The journal is also abstracted and indexed in various databases including Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Academic Search, among others.
