“…For example, social connection processes that attenuate negative mood states and boost positive ones can enhance or replenish self-regulatory resources, which can lead to better health practices (e.g., diet, exercise) and self-care. In contrast, social disconnection is resource-consuming and can interfere with self-regulation and increase risky health behaviors (Ford & Collins, 2013). Likewise, cognitive appraisals (e.g., reduced threat, enhanced self-efficacy) and positive emotions can foster adaptive coping and creative problem solving (Feeney & Collins, 2015).…”

Close relationships play a vital role in human health, but much remains to be learned about specific mechanisms of action and potential avenues for intervention. This article provides an evaluation of research on close relationships processes relevant to health, drawing on themes from major relationship science theories to present a broad conceptual framework for understanding the interpersonal processes and intrapersonal pathways linking relationships to health and disease outcomes. The analysis reveals that both social connection and social disconnection broadly shape biological responses and behaviors that are consequential for health. Furthermore, emerging work offers insights into the types of social dynamics that are most consequential for health, and the potential pathways through which they operate. Following from this analysis, the authors suggest several research priorities to facilitate the translation of discoveries from relationship science into relationship-based interventions and public health initiatives. These priorities include developing finer-grained theoretical models to guide research, the systematic investigation of potential mediating pathways such as dyadic influences on health behavior and physiological coregulation, and taking into account individual differences and contextual factors such as attachment style, gender, socioeconomic status, and culture. In addition, a pressing need exists for laboratory and field research to determine which types of interventions are both practical and effective.

“…Similarly, Ilies, Johnson, Judge, and Keeney () sampled work‐related interpersonal conflicts for 2 weeks to find that they had a stronger influence on negative affect for more agreeable individuals. Finally, Ford and Collins () employed daily diaries to reveal that previous‐day rejection had a stronger association with lower current‐day health and well‐being for individuals low in self‐esteem.…”

Intensive longitudinal methods (ILMs), in which data are gathered from participants multiple times with short intervals (typically 24 hours or less apart), have gained considerable ground in personality research and may be useful in exploring causality in both classic personality trait models and more novel contextualized personality state models. We briefly review the various terms and uses of ILMs in various fields of psychology and present five main strategies that can help researchers infer causality in ILM studies. We discuss the use of temporal precedence to establish causality, through both lagged analyses and natural experiments; the use of external measures and peer reports to go beyond self‐report data; delving deeper into repeated measures to derive new indices; the use of contextual factors occurring during the measurement period; and combining experimental methods and ILMs. These strategies are illustrated by examples from existing research and by new empirical findings from two dyadic daily diary studies (N = 80 and N = 108 couples) and an experience sampling method study of personality states (N = 52). We conclude by offering a short checklist for designing ILM studies with causality in mind and look at the applicability of these strategies in the intersection of personality psychology and other psychological research domains.

“…The level of self-esteem is related to our sensitivity to social feedback. Individuals with low self-esteem tend to experience more and longer lasting distress after rejection compared to individuals with high self-esteem ( Nezlek et al , 1997 ; Bernichon et al , 2003 ; Brown, 2010 ; Ford and Collins, 2013 ). Neuroimaging studies indicate that during social rejection lower self-esteem is associated with both decreased and increased activation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and ventral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), interpreted as decreased emotion regulation or increased social pain ( Onoda et al , 2010 ; Somerville et al , 2010 ; Gyurak et al , 2012 ).…”

The way we view ourselves may play an important role in our responses to interpersonal interactions. In this study, we investigate how feedback valence, consistency of feedback with self-knowledge and global self-esteem influence affective and neural responses to social feedback. Participants (N = 46) with a high range of self-esteem levels performed the social feedback task in an MRI scanner. Negative, intermediate and positive feedback was provided, supposedly by another person based on a personal interview. Participants rated their mood and applicability of feedback to the self. Analyses on trial basis on neural and affective responses are used to incorporate applicability of individual feedback words. Lower self-esteem related to low mood especially after receiving non-applicable negative feedback. Higher self-esteem related to increased posterior cingulate cortex and precuneus activation (i.e. self-referential processing) for applicable negative feedback. Lower self-esteem related to decreased medial prefrontal cortex, insula, anterior cingulate cortex and posterior cingulate cortex activation (i.e. self-referential processing) during positive feedback and decreased temporoparietal junction activation (i.e. other referential processing) for applicable positive feedback. Self-esteem and consistency of feedback with self-knowledge appear to guide our affective and neural responses to social feedback. This may be highly relevant for the interpersonal problems that individuals face with low self-esteem and negative self-views.
