Threats to social connectedness in the form of social and societal rejection, and the permanent loss of social bonds, are inevitable and common sources of social pain. However, sensitivity to social pain, also known as algesia, differs across individuals and contexts. Such sensitivity has implications for health, well-being, and the maintenance of social connection over time. What biological factors predict differences in sensitivity to social pain? Based on long-standing translational perspectives and emerging findings, the current review highlights blood pressure as a novel predictor of sensitivity to social pain: Higher resting blood pressure appears to relate to lower sensitivity to social pain. Despite evidence for this association, possible psychobiological bases and moderating influences are not yet established. Moreover, although higher blood pressure may afford tolerance for life’s many pains, the health-related implications and trade-offs of such an effect are unknown.

血压与社交痛觉：心血管系统与社交疼痛敏感性之间的意外关系

以社会和社会排斥的形式对社会联系的威胁以及社会纽带的永久丧失是社会痛苦的不可避免和常见的根源。然而，对社会疼痛（也称为痛觉）的敏感性因个体和环境而异。随着时间的推移，这种敏感性会对健康、福祉和社会联系的维持产生影响。哪些生物学因素可以预测对社会痛苦的敏感性差异？基于长期的转化观点和新发现，当前的综述强调血压是对社交疼痛敏感性的新预测因子：较高的静息血压似乎与较低的社交疼痛敏感性有关。尽管有证据证明这种关联，但可能的心理生物学基础和调节影响尚未确定。此外，虽然较高的血压可以承受生活中的许多痛苦，但这种影响与健康相关的影响和权衡尚不清楚。
