What effect does social cognition have on people's health?

In the process of social cognition, if people only pay attention to the negative aspects of life, then they may experience greater loneliness. Anderson et al. (Anderson 1994) pointed out that, like those who are depressed, people who have been lonely for a long time often fall into negative circles that belittle themselves. They often treat their depression with a negative attitude, and often blame themselves for not having good social relations and seeing things out of control. At the same time, Jones et al. (198 1) also found that people with strong loneliness tend to view others negatively, for example, they regard their roommates as difficult people. Anxiety is an inevitable thing in our life. For example, if you go to a company for an interview and meet an important person, or others are evaluating you, people may feel anxious. Psychologist Bujum et al (broom &; Wegner 1994) studied the situation in which we feel anxious, and found that people's cognition and control of the situation can avoid anxiety, which was also proved by Philip Zimbardo1981et al. In this study, Ba Du asked two groups of female college students, shy and not shy, to talk to a handsome man in the laboratory. Before the conversation began, these female students were gathered in a small room and made a lot of noise for them. Later, I told some shy girls that noise would make their hearts beat faster, and that it was a symptom of anxiety. As it turns out, these girls don't call themselves anxious and fluent, because they attribute their rapid heartbeat to noise rather than shyness or lack of social skills. With the development of industrialization, psychologists have found that human behavior and cognition have an important impact on their own health. Behavioral medicine and health psychology are developed under the influence of this thought. In the view of health psychologists, our cognition of our emotions and nervousness is closely related to the occurrence of diseases. When studying the influence of social cognition on health, psychologists point out that an optimistic attitude towards life and an optimistic explanation in the face of diseases are one of the main conditions for human health. Seligman 1987 and Peterson 1988, for example, provide evidence in this respect. They studied an interview record of Harvard University in 1946 and the health status of these people in 1980, and found that those who are optimistic are far better than those who are pessimistic in physical condition.
