我们的研究项目集中在羞耻作为对“社会自我”威胁的关键情绪反应（即，社会评价或拒绝）。我们认为，在这些条件下，羞耻感可能会协调特定的心理生物学变化模式。一系列研究表明，对社会自我的急性威胁会增加促炎细胞因子和皮质醇的活性，这些变化与羞耻感同时发生。慢性社会自我威胁和持续的经验，与艾滋病相关的认知和情感状态预测疾病相关的免疫和健康结果在艾滋病毒。在我们的实验室和纵向研究中，一般或复合情感状态（例如，痛苦）与这些生理和健康结果无关。这些发现支持了心理生物学和健康研究的压力源和情绪反应特异性模型。
Our program of research focuses on shame as a key emotional response to "social self" threats (i.e., social evaluation or rejection). We propose that shame may orchestrate specific patterns of psychobiological changes under these conditions. A series of studies demonstrates that acute threats to the social self increase proinflammatory cytokine activity and cortisol and that these changes occur in concert with shame. Chronic social self threats and persistent experience of shame-related cognitive and affective states predict disease-relevant immunological and health outcomes in HIV. Across our laboratory and longitudinal studies, general or composite affective states (e.g., distress) are unrelated to these physiological and health outcomes. These findings support a stressor- and emotional response-specificity model for psychobiological and health research.
