Failed reciprocity in close social relationships and health: findings from the Whitehall II study

摘要

ObjectiveTo extend the model of effort-reward imbalance at work to close and more general social relationships and test the associations with different measures of health. Lack of reciprocity at work is associated with poorer health in a number of studies. However, few studies have analysed the effect of non-reciprocity in other kinds of social relationships on health.
