Environmental Dimensions of Human Stress, Adaptation, and Resilience

本研究项目将探讨人类社会压力的动态，调查不同环境下各种压力对人类福祉的产生、循环、作用和影响。研究工作将通过宏观层面的社会和环境变量，考虑到资源利用模式、社会和环境未来的叙述以及发展轨迹，绘制压力对个人的感知和影响与压力产生之间的联系。通过探究压力在个体、社会和环境之间的相互作用中产生的复杂动态和摩擦，研究将有助于理解压力在人类进化和环境适应/不适应中的作用。研究将有助于阐明适应和恢复社会和环境压力的技术和策略，有助于理解从个人、社会和物种的角度支持人类福祉的环境。对压力的不同文化理解将贯穿始终，质疑该术语在不同背景下解释社会和环境压力的相关性。关于人种学研究地点的决定正在等待工作人员辞职所需要的替代监督安排

This research project will address the dynamics of stress in human societies, investigating the production, circulation, valencies, and effects of diverse stresses upon human well-being within distinct environments. Research will work to chart connections between the perception and effects of stresses on the individual, and the production of stress through macro level societal and environmental variables, considering patterns of resource use, narratives of social and environmental futures, and developmental trajectories. Research will contribute to understandings of the role of stress in human evolution and environmental adaptation/maladaptation by interrogating the complex dynamics and frictions through which stresses emerge in interactions between individual, society and environment. Research will help clarify techniques and strategies of adaptation and resilience to societal and environmental stresses, contributing to understandings of environments that are supportive of human well-being at the orders of individual, society, and species. Diverse cultural understandings of stress will be taken into consideration throughout, questioning the relevance of the term for explaining societal and environmental pressures within distinct contexts.Decisions about research sites for ethnographic enquiry are pending the arrangement of alternative supervision necessitated by staff resignation
