Healthy normotensive men and women (N = 102) underwent a 3-day ambulatory blood pressure (BP) assessment in which a BP reading was taken 5 min into each social interaction. After each interaction, participants completed a diary that included structural categorization of the relationship and ratings of the quality of the relationship with the interaction partner. Random regression analyses revealed that interactions with family members and spouses were associated with lower ambulatory BP. Interactions with ambivalent network members (characterized by both positive and negative feelings) were associated with the highest ambulatory systolic BP, an effect that was independent of the familial effects on BP. Although there were psychological correlates associated with both structural and functional aspects of relationships, no evidence was found that these mediated the primary findings involving ambulatory BP. These data highlight the influence of both structural and qualitative aspects of relationships on ambulatory BP and possibly health.
102名血压正常的健康男性和女性接受了为期3天的动态血压评估，在每次社交互动开始5分钟时测量血压。每次互动后，参与者完成一份日记，其中包括对关系的结构分类以及与互动伙伴关系质量的评分。随机回归分析显示，与家庭成员和配偶的互动与较低的动态血压相关。与矛盾网络成员（以积极和消极情绪为特征）的互动与最高的动态收缩压相关，这一效应独立于家庭对血压的影响。尽管在关系的结构和功能方面都存在心理关联，但没有证据表明这些关联介导了涉及动态血压的主要发现。这些数据突出了关系的结构和质量方面对动态血压以及可能对健康的影响。
