There is a rich literature on social support and physical health, but research has focused primarily on the protective effects of social relationship. The stress buffering model asserts that relationships may be protective by being a source of support when coping with stress, thereby blunting health relevant physiological responses. Research also indicates relationships can be a source of stress, also influencing health. In other words, the social buffering influence may have a counterpart, a social aggravating influence that has an opposite or opposing effect. Drawing upon existing conceptual models, we expand these to delineate how social relationships may influence stress processes and ultimately health. This review summarizes the existing literature that points to the potential deleterious physiological effects of our relationships when they are sources of stress or exacerbate stress.
关于社会支持与身体健康的文献非常丰富，但研究主要集中在社会关系的保护作用上。压力缓冲模型认为，当应对压力时，人际关系可以成为支持的来源，从而减轻与健康相关的生理反应，因此具有保护作用。研究还表明，人际关系也可能是压力的来源，从而影响健康。换句话说，社会缓冲的影响可能有一个对应物，即社会加剧的影响，它具有相反或相反的效果。本文借鉴现有的概念模型，将这些模型扩展到如何描述社会关系如何影响压力过程，并最终影响健康。本综述总结了现有文献，指出当人际关系成为压力源或加剧压力时，它们可能对生理产生有害影响。
