心血管疾病的发病率和死亡率与此密切相关。然而,需要对造成这种联系的社会和生物过程进行更多的研究。在这项研究中,我们研究了基于关系的态度过程的作用(即,态度熟悉度和伴侣重要性)对日常生活中动态血压的影响。47对已婚夫妇完成了一份关于他们自己的态度,他们的合作伙伴的态度的看法,和合作伙伴的重要性的看法的问卷。他们还接受了为期1天的日常配偶互动和血压的动态评估。伙伴的重要性与更好的人际功能有关(例如,伴侣反应性)和较低的动态收缩压。更有趣的是,伴侣的重要性调节了态度熟悉度与动态收缩压和舒张压之间的联系。这一统计相互作用表明,仅仅知道伴侣的态度是不够的,因为伴侣的知识主要与较低的动态血压有关,而他们也被认为是更重要的。这些数据进行了讨论,如何态度熟悉和配偶的重要性可能共同影响健康的结果和社会认知机制可能负责这种联系。
Close relationships have been linked to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. More research is needed, however, on the social and biological processes responsible for such links. In this study, we examined the role of relationship-based attitudinal processes (i.e., attitude familiarity and partner importance) on ambulatory blood pressure during daily life. Forty-seven married couples completed a questionnaire regarding their own attitudes, perceptions of their partner’s attitudes, and perceptions of partner importance. They also underwent a 1-day ambulatory assessments of daily spousal interactions and blood pressure. Partner importance was related to better interpersonal functioning (e.g., partner responsiveness) and lower ambulatory systolic blood pressure. More interestingly, partner importance moderated the links between attitude familiarity and both ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This statistical interaction revealed that simply knowing a partner’s attitudes was not enough as partner knowledge was primarily related to lower ambulatory blood pressure when they were also viewed as more important. These data are discussed in light of how attitude familiarity and spousal importance may jointly influence health outcomes and the social-cognitive mechanisms potentially responsible for such links.
