There exists a bidirectional network of interactions between the central nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system. The existence of these pathways allows stressful life experience to impact the immune system with important implications for health. One powerful elicitor of changes in the autonomic, endocrine and immune systems is threat to social status. This review describes the development of a human model of social status threat that specifies a set of contextual, psychological and biological pathways that may underlie the health consequences of threats to social status and regard. The role of cognitive processes in shaping the physiological response to the social world will be emphasized.
中枢神经系统、内分泌系统和免疫系统之间存在着双向交互网络。这些通路的存在使得紧张的生活经历能够影响免疫系统，对健康产生重要影响。自主神经、内分泌和免疫系统变化的一个强大诱因是社会地位受到威胁。这篇综述描述了一种社会地位威胁人类模型的发展，该模型明确了一组可能构成社会地位和尊重受到威胁对健康影响基础的情境、心理和生物学途径。将强调认知过程在塑造对社会环境的生理反应中的作用。
