Life-course socioeconomic trajectories and diurnal cortisol regulation in adulthood
2010, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Living in unfavorable socioeconomic circumstances entails an increased risk for a multitude of stressful exposures (Turner et al., 1995; Baum et al., 1999; Lantz et al., 2005). Loss of dignity and feelings of humiliation and inferiority are also part of disadvantaged groups’ experiences (Marmot, 2004; Wilkinson, 1999). Although children and adolescents are to a large degree exposed directly to many stressors (Evans and English, 2002), they may also be influenced indirectly through the hardship their parents face (Conger et al., 1994).
Unfairness and the social gradient of metabolic syndrome in the Whitehall II Study
2007, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :Fairness, defined as the quality of treating people equally or in a way that is right or reasonable [1], is widely recognized as a key principle of human behavior, social relations, and the organization of society [2–5]. Acts of relational and societal unfairness can be conceptualized as violations of people's dignity or self-respect [6,7] that may produce negative stress-related reactions that increase the risk of poor mental and physical health [8,9]. In a recent study, participants reporting higher levels of unfairness were more likely to experience an incident coronary event (excluding self-reported cases), compared to those with low or medium unfairness, after adjustment for age, gender, employment grade, traditional coronary risk factors, and other psychosocial work characteristics [10].
