Hostility and Health: Current Status of a Psychosomatic Hypothesis
Recent research has renewed interest in the potential influence of hostility on physical health. This review indicates that the evidence available from prospective studies, although not entirely consistent, suggests that hostile persons may be at increased risk for subsequent coronary heart disease...

| description | Recent
research has renewed interest in the potential influence of hostility on
physical health. This review indicates that the evidence available from
prospective studies, although not entirely consistent, suggests that hostile
persons may be at increased risk for subsequent coronary heart disease and other
life-threatening illnesses. Further, several plausible mechanisms possibly
linking hostility and health have been articulated and subjected to initial
evaluation. Hostile individuals display heightened physiological reactivity in
some situations, report greater degrees of interpersonal conflict and less
social support, and may have more unhealthy daily habits. Additional research is
needed, and it must address a variety of past conceptual and methodological
limitations. Perhaps the most central of these concerns are the assessment of
individual differences in hostility and the role of social contexts in the
psychosomatic process.
