社会经济地位（SES）和身体健康之间的关联是强大的。然而，SES-健康协会的心理社会中介已经在相对较少的调查研究。在这一章中，我们总结和批评最近的文献有关的负面情绪和认知，心理压力，资源作为潜在的途径连接SES和身体健康。我们讨论了社会经济地位与健康的联系的社会心理根源，并概述了社会心理因素如何导致社会经济地位持续低下。我们的结论是，心理社会资源可能发挥关键的调解作用，和SES的健康连接的起源是显而易见的在童年。我们为未来的研究提供了一个蓝图，我们希望这有助于更好地了解SES如何在整个生命周期中进入皮肤。
The association between socioeconomic status (SES) and physical health is robust. Yet, the psychosocial mediators of SES-health association have been studied in relatively few investigations. In this chapter, we summarize and critique the recent literature regarding negative emotions and cognitions, psychological stress, and resources as potential pathways connecting SES and physical health. We discuss the psychosocial origins of the SES-health links and outline how psychosocial factors may lead to persistently low SES. We conclude that psychosocial resources may play a critical mediating role, and the origins of the SES-health connection are apparent in childhood. We offer a blueprint for future research, which we hope contributes to a better understanding of how SES gets under the skin across the life span.
