Preferred term

negative interaction and health  

Definition

  • Negative social interactions, variously termed negative social exchanges, negative or harmful support, social strain, or interpersonal conflict, appear to have potent effects on mental health, but their effects on physical health have been less widely studied. Because humans have a great need for affiliation, disruptions in social relationships are an important source of stress. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health & Aging; Negative Interaction and Health]
