Abstract

Research has predominantly focused on the negative effects of adversity on health and well-being. However, the salutogenic perspective suggests that adversity may not always be detrimental (Antonovsky, 1996). In fact, under certain circumstances, adversity may have the potential for positive outcomes, such as increased resilience and thriving (Carver, 1998; Rutter, 1987). The “steeling effect” suggests that past experiences of adversity may increase resistance to later adversities. It proposes that moderate adversity may facilitate more adaptive functioning than no adversity or high levels of adversity (Rutter, 2006, 2012). The relationship between adversity and health may be optimally assessed using curvilinear models, yet the majority of previous studies have examined linear associations (Masten & Cicchetti, 2016). It is therefore the aim of this review to determine whether moderate adversity is associated with more adaptive functioning when compared to no and high levels of adversity. Practical implications and future research are also discussed.
不良经历的健康成因视角:逆境与幸福感的曲线关系
研究主要集中在逆境对健康和幸福的负面影响上。然而,健康发生学的观点认为逆境并不总是有害的(Antonovsky, 1996)。事实上,在某些情况下,逆境可能有积极结果的潜力,比如增强弹性和繁荣(卡弗,1998;拉特,1987)。“钢铁效应”表明,过去的逆境经历可能会增加对未来逆境的抵抗力。它提出适度逆境比没有逆境或高度逆境更能促进适应功能(Rutter, 2006, 2012)。逆境与健康之间的关系可以使用曲线模型进行最佳评估,但之前的大多数研究都考察了线性关联(Masten & Cicchetti, 2016)。因此,本综述的目的是确定中度逆境与无逆境和高逆境相比是否与更强的适应功能相关。讨论了实际意义和未来的研究方向。
