Recent literature dealing with environmental life stress and anxiety is reviewed in this article. The role of psychosocial environment in both etiological and outcome factors of anxiety is evident and has been suggested by many theories. However, few studies have been conducted to explain this relation between life stress and anxiety. Mainly, studies have concerned recent life events and early separations. The link between life event and anxiety appears non specific and complex. Others factors may be taken in account like social context and coping styles. Recent models integrate both environmental factors and biological vulnerability. In particular, there has been an increasing focus on neurobiology of stress and anxiety. Further studies are necessary to specify the disorders and concepts under study and integrating biological and psychological factors in understanding the complex relationship of stress and anxiety.
本文回顾了近期有关环境生活压力与焦虑的文献。社会心理环境在焦虑的病因和结果因素中的作用是显而易见的，许多理论都已表明了这一点。然而，很少有研究对生活压力与焦虑之间的这种关系作出解释。主要来说，相关研究关注的是近期生活事件和早期分离情况。生活事件与焦虑之间的联系似乎不具有特异性且很复杂。其他因素，如社会背景和应对方式，也可能需要考虑在内。近期的模型整合了环境因素和生物易感性。特别是，人们越来越关注压力和焦虑的神经生物学。有必要开展进一步研究，以明确所研究的疾病和概念，并在理解压力与焦虑的复杂关系时整合生物和心理因素。
