\nBy Casey Johnston | Last updated 5 days ago<\/span><\/p>\nFinally, someone is trying to find out why nerds stereotypically have asthma. A new experiment conducted at UCLA shows that social stress and rejection are related to the release of certain inflammatory chemicals in the body; these chemicals have been linked to several medical conditions, including asthma, arthritis, and some kinds of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\nIn the study, a group of researchers recruited a bunch of students at UCLA and subjected them to socially stressful situations. The students were asked write a speech and then read it to a pair of evaluators, who then acted as if the speech were abhorrently subpar. After that, they had to perform mental arithmetic for a proctor who would appear impatient with them and urge them to go faster. A subset of the participants were also made to play a game of „Cyberball“ with two other people, who were asked to socially exclude them.<\/span><\/p>\nThroughout these socially stressful experiences, researchers took mouth swabs of the students and monitored their activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the brain known to process rejection-related distress. (It’s possible that the swabbing added to the stress.) The two measures showed that greater activity in this area of the brain correlated with a rise in two inflammatory chemicals that are known to play a role in the onset or progress of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, depression, and various types of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\nThe authors speculate that there may be some overlap in the neural circuits that process social and physical pain, resulting in a similar bodily response to both. The release of the inflammatory chemicals are typical of a basic threat response, as they help wounds heal more quickly and reduce the risk of infection.<\/span><\/p>\nThe scientists didn’t look into whether increases in social stress correlated with increased inflammation, or which symptom causes which\u2014that is, if being a nerd begets asthma, or if asthma begets a nerd. Still, if the inflammatory results of social stress are cumulative, understanding the relationship better could help in controlling related health problems. <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nIm Prinzip geht es darum, dass Leute f\u00fcr ein Experiment unter sozialen Stress gesetzt wurden. Sie wurden angetrieben, ihre Arbeit niedergemacht, und man grenzte sie aus. Zwischendurch entnahm man den Probanden Speichelproben und \u00fcberwachte ihre Gehirnfunktionen. Zum einen stellte man fest, dass ein Hirnareal (dorsaler Cortex) besonders aktiv war, in dem Stress durch Ablehnung \u201everwaltet\u201c wird. Zum zweiten ergaben die Proben einen Anstieg von Chemikalien im K\u00f6rper, die Entz\u00fcndungen ausl\u00f6sen, und von denen man heute annimmt, dass sie eine Rolle spielen bei der Entstehung von rheumatoider Arthritis, Herzkreislauferkrankungen, Depressionen und verschiedenen Krebsarten.
\nDie Autoren der Studie spekulieren, dass durch den sozialen Stress etwas in den neuronalen Schaltkreisen passiert, die sozialen und physischen Schmerz verarbeiten. Normalerweise w\u00fcrden uns die gefundenen Chemikalien fitter machen, indem sie f\u00fcr eine schnellere Wundheilung sorgen. Bei Dauerstress sind aber diese Stoffe mehr geeignet, uns ernsthaften Schaden zuzuf\u00fcgen. <\/p>\n
Wenn wir einmal die Gedanken schweifen lassen – was kennen wir f\u00fcr Menschen, die immer wieder soziale Zur\u00fcckweisung erfahren?
\nMenschen mit Migrationshintergrund
\nBehinderte
\nHartz-IV-Empf\u00e4nger
\nHomosexuelle
\nKinderreiche Familien
\nSuchtkranke <\/p>\n
Je l\u00e4nger ich dar\u00fcber nachdenke, desto unbehaglicher und hei\u00dfer wird mir gerade. Tragen wir alle mit unseren Urteilen und Beschr\u00e4nkungen, mit unseren Ausgrenzungen und Mobbing-Strukturen dazu bei, dass wir alle immer kr\u00e4nker werden? Und was kann ich, was kannst du, jeder einzelne von uns dazu beitragen, dass dieser Stress ein Ende nimmt? <\/p>\n
Ich bin ratlos. <\/p>\n
So long. <\/p>\n
