520 "Our relationships with other people are complex, but they
matter a great deal. In this edited volume, we review
recent perspectives on the connections between social
relationships and physical and mental health. Although the
potential for psychological events and emotions to affect
health is no longer novel, our understanding of their
intricacies--from physiological processes to cultural
mechanisms--is constantly evolving. The individual
chapters in this book explore the myriad connections
between stress and illness and how these connections are
shaped by the quality of our relationships with other
people. Relationships, as examined in this volume, span
the full continuum--from social support to social
isolation--as do their benefits and costs. Throughout the
volume, we emphasize two key themes. First, for all the
reasons mentioned previously, the chapters emphasize the
fact that relationships matter. The quality and quantity
of our connections with other people predict outcomes
ranging from happiness to heart disease, from adjustment
to maladjustment, and from mortality to longevity. The
chapters in this volume are designed to explore the scope
of and the mechanisms for these associations, as well as
their implications for improving both health and
relationships. Second, the chapters emphasize the fact
that perceptions matter. One of the most robust
conclusions from the stress literature (if not all
psychological literature) is that people's perceptions are
dramatic and important moderators of emotional, behavioral,
and physiological responses. Both actual support (e.g.,
Cohen, 2004) and perceived support (e.g., Lakey & Cassady,
1990) are predictive of better health; both physical
isolation (e.g., Berkman & Syme, 1979) and perceived
loneliness (e.g., Hawkley et al., 2003) are predictive of
poorer health. A host of individual differences likewise
moderate the impact of social threat, caregiver stress,
romantic loss, and exposure to risky families. Each of the
chapters in this volume highlights the importance of
perceptions and individual differences and examines the
reasons that these play such an important role. The
chapters discuss a number of related constructs under the
general umbrella of health, including physical and mental
health outcomes, as well as the emotional and
physiological mechanisms that may act as precursors to
these outcomes. In many cases, these chapters examine
moderators of the link between health and relationships--
for example, the impact of a romantic loss depends in part
on the personality and gender of the person experiencing
the loss. In other cases, where the mechanisms are
understood, the chapters focus on mediators of the link
between health and relationships--for example, physical
affection appears to be the mediating mechanism for the
health benefits of marriage. The topic of health and
social relationships spans multiple perspectives within
psychology and related fields, and we have attempted to
capture this diversity in this volume. Although the
primary intended audience is academic psychologists, we
believe that many of the chapters will be of interest to
health care professionals and therapists who focus on
relationship issues. We also anticipate this volume can be
an excellent companion to graduate and advanced
undergraduate courses on the topics of stress, health,
emotion, and relationships"--Introduction. (PsycINFO
