消极的社会交流比积极的社会交流更可靠地与心理健康相关。然而，很少有研究试图了解潜在的评估过程如何将这种交流与心理健康联系起来。本研究探讨了发生的频率和评价的四个平行领域的积极和消极的交流积极的福祉和心理困扰的国家样本的916名老年人。结构方程分析表明，消极的交流都与幸福感和更大的心理困扰，而积极的交流只与积极的幸福感。此外，研究结果支持了一个过程，其中评价介导的社会交流之间的联系。心理健康这种社会评价过程有助于解释负面交流对心理健康的不成比例的影响。
Negative social exchanges have been more reliably related to psychological health than have positive social exchanges. Little research, however, has sought to understand how underlying appraisal processes link such exchanges to psychological health. This study examined the frequencies of occurrence and appraisals of four parallel domains of positive and negative exchanges in relation to positive well-being and psychological distress in a national sample of 916 older adults. Structural equation analyses revealed that negative exchanges were related both to less well-being and greater psychological distress, whereas positive exchanges were related only to positive well-being. Furthermore, results supported a process in which appraisals mediated the link between social exchanges and. psychological health. This social appraisal process helps explain the disproportionate impact of negative exchanges on psychological health.
