This preliminary study compared the associations between objective and subjective socioeconomic status (SES) with psychological and physical variables among 157 healthy White women, 59 of whom subsequently participated in a laboratory stress study. Compared with objective indicators, subjective social status was more consistently and strongly related to psychological functioning and health-related factors (self-rated health, heart rate, sleep latency, body fat distribution, and cortisol habituation to repeated stress). Most associations remained significant even after controlling for objective social status and negative affectivity. Results suggest that, in this sample with a moderately restricted range on SES and health, psychological perceptions of social status may be contributing to the SES-health gradient.
这项初步研究比较了157名健康白人女性的客观和主观社会经济地位（SES）与心理和生理变量之间的关联，其中59人随后参与了一项实验室压力研究。与客观指标相比，主观社会地位与心理功能和健康相关因素（自评健康、心率、睡眠潜伏期、体脂分布以及重复应激下的皮质醇适应性）的关系更一致且更紧密。即使在控制了客观社会地位和消极情感性之后，大多数关联仍然显著。结果表明，在这个SES和健康范围适度受限的样本中，社会地位的心理认知可能导致了SES与健康之间的梯度变化。
