 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is indisputable that health declines with age, and that the rate of decline is not the same for everyone. Many sources of accelerated risk of illness have been identified in prior research, and among the most reliable predictors of ill health are social stressors, including abusive social relations in childhood. Early life adversity may lead to poorer mental health and physical functioning in midlife through various pathways; among the most likely paths are social in origin, including troubled family relationships, heightened sensitivity to interpersonal stressors, and social isolation. Is it possible to interrupt this caus-effect pairing between early adversity and illness in later life? This grant examines that question Specifically, we address whether the individual differences in risk attributable to childhood adversity are reversible through a social intelligence (SI) intervention for an established cohort of community residents who were part of a comprehensive study of biopsychosocial markers of resilience at Mid-Life. We have three primary objectives in this research: (1) to examine whether an SI intervention can enhance the capacity for rewarding social relations, especially for individuals with a history of early life adversity. (2) To examine evidence for our hypothesis that intervention-related gains in the quality of social relationship will be responsible for the improvements in psychological, and physical functioning, and influence two bio- markers of health risk and resilience: interleukin 6 (IL-6) and DHEA-S. (3) To probe for individual differences in age, gender, history of abuse, personality, and genetic markers of risk that identif participants most responsive to the intervention. To address these questions, an SI intervention will be delivered to a random-selected half of 220 middle-aged participants: Half with a history of child abuse and half who did not report abuse. The program is an on-line self-instructional series of videos with awareness exercises and behavioral practices designed to enhance fund of knowledge about relationships, increase skills, and enhance motivation to engage socially. In addition to charting social relations with daily diaries, we will assess participants' social, psychological, and physical functioning at pre-test, post-test, three months, and six months following the intervention. We hypothesize that the SI intervention will prompt lasting improvement in the ability to establish, maintain, and benefit from social relations in comparison to controls, which will lead to better psychological and physical functioning. We will examine evidence for the hypothesis that the benefits of the intervention will be largest for individuals who have experienced greater early childhood adversity, as well as probe other individual differences in receptivity to the SI program that will inform future efforts to refine, test and disseminate this innovative program.

 描述（由申请人提供）：无可争议的是，健康随着年龄的增长而下降，并且下降的速度对每个人来说都不一样。在先前的研究中已经确定了许多加速疾病风险的来源，而最可靠的健康状况不佳的预测因素是社会压力，包括童年时期的虐待性社会关系。早年的逆境可能导致 通过各种途径导致中年心理健康和身体机能较差;最可能的途径是社会根源，包括家庭关系不好，对人际压力源的敏感性增加，以及社会孤立。有没有可能打破这种早期逆境和晚年疾病之间的因果关系？具体来说，我们解决了归因于童年逆境的风险的个体差异是否是可逆的，通过社会智力（SI）干预一个既定的社区居民队列，他们是中年弹性的生物心理社会标志物的综合研究的一部分。本研究有三个主要目的：（1）检验SI干预是否能提高个体对社会关系的回报能力，尤其是对有早期生活逆境史的个体。(2)为了检验我们假设的证据， 社会关系质量的干预相关收益将对心理和身体功能的改善负责，并影响健康风险和弹性的两个生物标志物：白细胞介素6（IL-6）和DHEA-S。(3)探索年龄、性别、虐待史、个性和风险遗传标记的个体差异，以确定参与者对干预最敏感。为了解决这些问题，将对220名中年参与者中随机选择的一半进行SI干预： 虐待儿童和一半的人没有报告虐待。该计划是一个在线自学系列视频与意识练习和行为实践，旨在提高有关关系的知识基金，提高技能，并增强参与社会的动机。除了用日常日记记录社会关系外，我们还将在测试前、测试后、干预后三个月和六个月评估参与者的社会、心理和身体功能。我们假设，SI干预将促使建立，维持和受益于社会关系的能力与对照组相比，这将导致更好的心理和身体功能的持久改善。我们将研究证据的假设，干预的好处将是最大的个人经历了更大的童年早期逆境，以及探测其他个体差异的接受SI程序，将通知未来的努力，完善，测试和传播这一创新的计划。
