“…De nombreuses études rapportent les effets dommageables des interactions négatives avec des personnes du réseau social sur la santé mentale (Shultz et al, 1997 ;Coyne et Smith, 1991 ;Abbey et al, 1985). Certaines études montrent d'ailleurs que la présence de relations conflictuelles constitue un prédicteur plus puissant de la détresse que le soutien social (Caron et al, 1998 ;Pagel et al, 1987 ;Rook, 1984 ;Fiore et al, 1983).…”

Cette étude analyse les conditions de réalisation du soutien social dans les quartiers de Saint-Henri et de la Pointe Saint-Charles, en comparant un groupe de 61 prestataires de la sécurité du revenu avec un échantillon de 21 personnes de la population vivant au-dessus du seuil de la pauvreté, et en fonction du degré de détresse dans chaque groupe. Elle vise également à décrire comment une adversité vécue par les prestataires avec ou sans détresse vient briser ou modifier le réseau de soutien. Les résultats indiquent que le réseau social est moins fiable en présence de détresse qu’en son absence, que les personnes en détresse se sont vues plus fréquemment refuser du soutien ou être abandonnées et qu’elles ont davantage de personnes nuisibles dans leur entourage. De plus, les événements vécus comportent souvent une atteinte à leur réputation, des menaces, des trahisons et des refus à un droit légitime. Les personnes en détresse sont aussi davantage isolées.This study analyzes how social support is actualized by comparing 61 welfare recipients with a sample of 21 individuals above the poverty level in the area of St-Henri and Pointe Saint-Charles and by taking into account the level of psychological distress. A second goal is to document how an adversity experienced by a welfare recipient, with or without distress, breaks or change the support network. Results show that individuals with high distress have a less reliable network than those without, that they more often report a refusal of support or are let down and that they have more negative ties in their network. Besides, experienced events are more likely to attack their reputation, represent a threat, a betrayal or prevent access to a right. These individuals are also more likely to be isolated.Este estudio analiza las condiciones de realización del apoyo social en los barrios de Saint-Henri y de Pointe Saint-Charles, mediante la comparación de un grupo de 61 prestatarios de la seguridad social con una muestra de 21 personas de la población que vive por encima del umbral de pobreza, y en función del grado de necesidad de cada grupo. También busca describir cómo una adversidad vivida por los prestatarios necesitados o no rompe o modifica la red de apoyo. Los resultados indican que la red social es menos fiable en presencia de la necesidad que en su ausencia, que a las personas necesitadas se les rechaza más frecuentemente el apoyo o son abandonadas y que tienen más personas nocivas en su entorno. Además, los eventos vividos conllevan frecuentemente un ataque a su reputación, amenazas, traiciones y rechazo a un derecho legítimo. Las personas necesitadas están también más aisladas.Este estudo analisa as condições de realização do apoio social nos bairros de Saint-Henri e de Pointe Saint-Charles, em comparação a um grupo de 61 beneficiários do seguro social com uma amostragem de 21 pessoas da população que vive acima do limite de pobreza, e em função do grau de depressão em cada grupo.

“…Overall, the research indicates that negative interaction detracts from psychological health (Finch et al 1989;Okun, Melichar, and Hill 1990;Swindle et al 2001) and increases one's vulnerability to psychological distress, while findings for positive interaction (i.e., supportive exchanges), however, indicate that it is generally unrelated to psychological outcomes such as depression and overall satisfaction (Fiore, Becker, and Coppel 1983;Kiecolt-Glaser, Dyer, and Shuttleworth 1988). This differential suggests that attention should be focused on the distinctive meanings of positive versus negative interaction (e.g., rarity, salience, attributional qualities) and the specific mechanisms through which effects of interactions are conveyed on outcomes (Lincoln 2000).…”

This study examines the relationships among social support, negative interaction, financial strain, traumatic events, personal control, personality, and psychological distress among African American and white adults. These analyses: (1) test the overall adequacy of various models (i.e., main, mediator, and artifactual effects) of these effects, (2) examine the role of social support and negative interaction within the context of financial strain and traumatic events, and (3) verify possible indirect effects of social interaction on distress by assessing their impact on personal control. Data from The National Comorbidity Survey were used to examine these relationships using structural equation modeling techniques. Findings indicated different models of these relationships for African Americans and whites. Overall, personal control mediated the relationship between negative interaction and psychological distress. For whites, negative interaction was an overall stronger predictor of distress and contributed to the impact of financial strain and traumatic events on psychological distress. Among African Americans, social support was a stronger predictor of distress. The findings suggest that the underlying models of these relationships are different for African Americans and whites.Over 20 years of research has verified the importance of positive and negative aspects of personal relationships for health and well-being (Abbey, Abramis, and Caplan 1985;Finch et al.

“…Social support can enhance psychological well being for persons with chronic pain (Burckhardt, 1985;Faucett & Levine, 1991;Murphy, Creed, & Jayson, 1988;Turner & Noh, 1988) although when it is excessive to the point that it becomes solicitous it can lead persons with chronic pain to show more pain and disability (Boothby, Thorn, Overduin, & Ward, 2004;McCracken, 2005;Paulsen & Altmaier, 1995). Conflict and problems with social relationships can also increase somatic and psychological distress (Feuerstein, Sult, & Houle, 1985;Fiore, Becker, & Coppel, 1983;Goldberg, Kerns, & Rosenberg, 1993). Successes in symbolic interactions and rejection of symbolic sharing represent the difference between social acceptance and welfare, and social rejection and distress.…”

We present a detailed framework for understanding the numerous and complicated interactions among psychological and social determinants of pain through examination of the process of pain communication. The focus is on an improved understanding of immediate dyadic transactions during painful events in the context of broader social phenomena. Fine-grain consideration of social transactions during pain leads to an appreciation of sociobehavioral events affecting both suffering persons as well as caregivers. Our examination considers knowledge from a variety of perspectives, including clinical health psychology, social and developmental processes, evolutionary psychology, communication studies, and behavioral neuroscience.
