This article is based on research carried out in the author's laboratory during the past decades. The central theme is the study of how environmental factors influence health and behavior. The approach is multidisciplinary, focusing on the dynamics of stressful person-environment interactions, viewed from social, psychological, and biomedical perspectives. A biopsychosocial framework for the study of stress and coping at the workplace is outlined. Key notions in the biopsychosocial approach are that endocrine responses to the psychosocial environment reflect its impact on the individual and serve as early warnings of long-term risks. Research on the release of the adrenal hormones, catecholamines and cortisol, in response to different work demands is interpreted in terms of the author's "effort and affect" model. The significance of personal control for achieving a state of effort and positive affect is underscored. Finally, a plea is made for dialogue between researchers in the biopsychosocial field and the employees, their organizations, and management. The dialogue is seen as a tool for translating research results into practical measures.
本文基于作者实验室在过去几十年中开展的研究。核心主题是研究环境因素如何影响健康和行为。研究方法是多学科的，从社会、心理和生物医学角度着眼于压力性的人与环境互动的动态过程。概述了一个用于研究职场压力与应对的生物心理社会框架。生物心理社会方法中的关键概念是，对心理社会环境的内分泌反应反映了其对个体的影响，并作为长期风险的早期预警。根据作者的“努力与情感”模型，对肾上腺激素、儿茶酚胺和皮质醇在应对不同工作需求时的释放情况进行了研究解读。强调了个人控制对于实现努力状态和积极情感的重要性。最后，呼吁生物心理社会领域的研究人员与员工、他们的组织及管理层之间展开对话。这种对话被视为将研究成果转化为实际措施的一种工具。
