人类是一个高度社会化的物种,普遍需要联系和社会互动。然而,满足这一基本动机伴随着风险,包括增加接触他人传染性病原体的机会。疾病缓解策略可能要求人类在致病威胁升高时下调他们对社会化的兴趣。随后,不能令人满意地满足的联系需求可能导致人类在疾病避免目标方面的下调。社会包容的服务,尽管以使个人面临更大的病原体暴露风险为代价目前的综述总结了过去在社会和进化心理学方面的工作,展示了从属关系和疾病回避动机的权衡,然后我们通过阐明策略来支持和维持面对孤独时的社交距离行为来应用这项研究,这在COVID-19等大流行爆发期间尤为重要。最后,我们提出了与隶属关系/病原体避免权衡相关的新颖和综合研究问题[作者摘要]社会与人格心理学指南针的版权属于Wiley的财产-未经版权保持器的明确书面许可,不得将Blackwell及其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或张贴到列表服务器。或电子邮件文章供个人使用本摘要可能会被删节不保证副本的准确性用户应参考完整摘要的原始出版版本的材料(版权适用于所有摘要)
Humans are an intensely social species with a pervasive need for affiliation and social interaction However, satisfying this fundamental motive comes with risk, including increased exposure to others' communicable pathogens Consequently, disease mitigation strategies may require humans to downregulate their interest in socialization when pathogenic threat is elevated Subsequent unsatisfactorily met affiliation needs can result in downregulation of disease avoidance goals in the service of social inclusion, albeit at the cost of putting individuals at greater risk for pathogen exposure The current review summarizes past work in social and evolutionary psychology demonstrating affiliation and disease‐avoidance motivation tradeoffs We then apply this research by articulating strategies to support and maintain social distancing behaviors in the face of loneliness, which is of particular importance during pandemic outbreaks such as COVID‐19 Finally, we propose novel and integrative research questions related to affiliation/pathogen‐avoidance tradeoffs [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Social & Personality Psychology Compass is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract may be abridged No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract (Copyright applies to all Abstracts )
