“…Personality traits are associated with social behavior, including interactions individuals have with their social network (Asendorpf & Wilpers, 1998;Silva, Henrie, & Patrick;Walen & Lachman, 2000). In the current study, neuroticism was associated with less PSS, while conscientiousness, extraversion and agreeableness were associated with greater PSS.…”

Research suggests a link between personality traits and various health outcomes. There is now a need to understand why this association exists by investigating potential underlying mechanisms. The current study investigated a potential mechanism that has not received much attention, positive social exchanges (PSS). PSS have been linked to health in various studies, but more research is needed to understand its association with health. The current study utilized data from 6,095 community-dwelling adults from the National Study of Midlife in the United States (MIDUS Wave 1; ages 20-75; Mage = 46.83, SD = 12.90). Using the Hayes PROCESS macro, we investigated whether PSS mediated the association between the Big Five personality traits (i.e. conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience) and functional limitations. The associations between neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness and functional limitations were significantly mediated by PSS. Exploratory age moderation revealed that age significantly moderated the association between neuroticism, conscientiousness, and extraversion with functional limitations such that the association was stronger at older ages. Through further analyses of these paths, it is possible to get a stronger understanding of how these processes work.

“…Tal como fue hipotetizado, en este estudio el estrés derivado de las relaciones interpersonales o negatividad social se asoció con la obesidad. Estos hallazgos son consistentes con investigaciones que indican que los intercambios sociales negativos influyen en la salud (House, Landis y Umberson, 1988;Walen y Lachman, 2000) y son fuertes predictores de la aparición de nuevas enfermedades crónicas, incluso más que factores de riesgo cardiovascular clásicos, como el género, la edad, la educación e ingreso económico (Hill, Weston y Jackson, 2014;Silva, Henrie y Hicks, 2016). Asimismo, se ha evidenciado que personas que presentan alta negatividad social, es decir, tienen relaciones sociales frías, negligentes y conflictivas están más propensas a desarrollar depresión, obesidad y enfermedades crónicas (Ortiz, Willey y Chiang, 2014).…”

“…De esta forma, en este estudio se ha demostrado que todo el efecto que tiene la negatividad social está complemente mediado por el estrés psicológico y la sintomatología depresiva. En línea con estos resultados, evidencia previa sugiere que el detrimento en salud física que se observa en personas que reportan intercambios sociales negativos, se exhaceba si estos se asocian con síntomas depresivos (Silva, Henrie y Hicks, 2016). Asimismo, diversos estudios señalan que los intercambios sociales negativos pueden inducir altos niveles de estrés psicológico y reducir la percepción de satisfacción social de los individuos (Barra, 2014;Ibarra-Rovillard y Kuiper, 2011;Newsom, Mahan, Rook y Krause, 2008;Rook, 2014).…”

“…El estudio científico de los factores psicológicos que se relacionan con obesidad, se ha centrado mayormente en variables tales como el estrés psicológico (Razzolia, Pearson y Bartolomuccia, 2017), sintomatalogía depresiva (de Groot, Golden y Wagner, 2016) ansiedad (Liu y Alloy, 2010) y percepción de discriminación (Puhl y Heuer, 2010) entre otros, sin embargo, escasa atención se ha puesto a cómo las relaciones interpersonales y el estrés psicológico derivado de éstas se asocia con obesidad. Más aún, las relaciones interpersonales han sido ampliamente conceptualizadas desde un polo positivo, desconociendo que, éstas pueden ser grandes generadoras de estrés psicológico y sintomatología depresiva (Silva, Henrie y Hicks Patrick, 2016). De esta forma, la investigación se ha focalizado en estudiar cómo la disposición de vínculos sociales positivos se relaciona con mejores resultados en salud (DiMatteo, 2004;Cohen, 2004), desconociendo que las relaciones sociales pueden ser fuente de estrés interpersonal, y por tanto, asociarse con pobres resultados en salud.…”

Las relaciones interpersonales, han sido típicamente estudiadas como un factor protector en salud, desconociendo su potencial efecto negativo en procesos de salud-enfermedad. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la asociación entre negatividad social y obesidad, y si esta relación está mediada por un factor latente de afectividad negativa compuesto por estrés psicológico y síntomas depresivos. Se realizó análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, con una muestra de 420 adultos chilenos. Existe una asociación entre negatividad social y obesidad, la cual está complemente mediada por la afectividad negativa. Esto releva el rol que el estrés psicológico y los síntomas depresivos tienen en la comprensión de la obesidad, así como la importancia de estudiar la negatividad social y su impacto en la salud.

“…Negative social exchanges refer to the unwelcome and unsympathetic exchanges among members of a social network [47]. The examples of the negative social exchanges are neglect, rejection, insensitivity, interference and unwanted advice (Brooks and Dunkel Schetter, 2011; Newsom et al, 2005; Rook, 1998 in Silva et al, 2016 [47]).…”

Prosocial value can be associated with the positive behaviours that are commonly practised in the socio-surrounding of a civilised community, for example, the action of helping, loving and developing empathy with each other. The formation of the prosocial behaviour also has a connection with one's self-efficacy. The individual's mastery of his or her self-efficacy can contribute to the differences in how he or she is behaving. All of the ethical values in every religion explain life as revolving around helping one another and living peacefully in society. The effort of helping based on the concerns towards other people could be the motivational factors that are closely related to the prosocial behaviour. Having positive personality traits and then backed with a sound religious belief ingrain the necessary moral compass that guides a person into behaving in ways that are considered society-friendly. Meanwhile, media roles depending on the content are capable of propagating decent values among the larger mass. Generally speaking, these factors are sufficient in educating and nurturing normal individuals to attain better selfefficacy. However, on an earnest ground considering individuals who suffer from a low level of self-efficacy, which resulted in antisocial behaviour, a more structured and empirical psychological intervention needs to be administered.
