The relationship of social ties to health behavior is studied in this paper. The general hypothesis tested is that those with social relationships are more likely to avoid health damaging behavior. Patterns regarding specific social ties and particular health behaviors are examined. Findings indicate the relationships of spouse, organization member, and friend are related to preventive health behavior; spouses are less likely smokers, drinkers, and heavy drinkers. The friend relationship is related to decreased smoking behavior, while the employee relationship is related to increased drinking. A consistent predictor of health behaviors is the social tie of organization member. People with relationships as organization members are more likely always to wear seat belts, smoke and drink less, and consume lower amounts of these substances.
本文研究了社会关系与健康行为之间的关系。所检验的一般假设是，拥有社会关系的人更有可能避免损害健康的行为。研究了关于特定社会关系和特定健康行为的模式。研究结果表明，配偶、组织成员和朋友关系与预防性健康行为有关；配偶吸烟、饮酒和酗酒的可能性较小。朋友关系与吸烟行为减少有关，而员工关系与饮酒增加有关。健康行为的一个一致预测因素是组织成员的社会关系。作为组织成员有关系的人更有可能总是系安全带，吸烟和饮酒较少，并且这些物质的摄入量较低。
