Brief Summary:
To examine biopsychosocial processes that might contribute to the associations among social dominance gender and cardiovascular reactivity
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND
Social dominance the tendency to exercise social influence and control has been positively associated with coronary heart disease CHD risk among males independent of biomedical risk factors and hostility Exposure to dominant others behaviors also has been associated with elevated CHD risk For females submissiveness and a constellation of psychosocial behaviors opposite to urgency and competitiveness have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease CVD The studies extend a growing literature concerning the central role of social relationships in health and illness and they test a theoretical model that addresses why social relationships and interpersonally-oriented person variables such as dominance may have differing consequences for the physical well-being of men and women
DESIGN NARRATIVE
The three studies were designed to test a social-contextual model of dominance and cardiovascular stress reactivity CVR that synthesized and elaborated earlier models in order to account for 1 cardiovascular consequences of exposure to dominant others and 2 differences in dominant mens and womens cardiovascular responses to social interactions Because of the disproportionately high rates of CVD among Black Americans both Black and white men and women were included in the studies
Using a laboratory social interaction paradigm study 1 refined and validated a coding system designed to assess dominant and hostile behaviors during dyadic social interaction Study 2 examined two factors proposed to account for differences in dominant mens and womens cardiovascular responses to social interaction 1 explicit role demands regarding dominance expression ie the degree to which situations provided clear and salient cues regarding expected and acceptable behavior and 2 gender composition of the dyad ie same sex versus opposite sex These two factors were manipulated independently while unacquainted healthy young adult men and women participated in task-oriented dyadic discussions designed to activate motives to influence cardiovascular responses were measured during the discussions and preceding rests Study 3 a secondary analysis of data collected in study 2 examined associations between CVR and exposure to others dominance The aforementioned behavioral coding system was used to assess behavioral dominance observed in study 2 and path analytic techniques were used to model associations among CVR ones own and ones partners trait and behavioral dominance gender and situational factors
