Young people perceive of health as physical and mental health. However, the current study analyzed factors for social health. Interviews with university students indicated that they did not necessarily perceive of a need to be socially healthy. Instead, they tended to perceive of a need to foster interpersonal relationships. Interviews also indicated that they were anxious about everyday interpersonal relationships.
This“relationship anxiety”tends to negatively impact the health of university students. Once that anxiety subsides, however, intimate interpersonal relationships can be fostered, and these relationships have positively impact health. Thus, interpersonal relationships can have positive and negative impacts.From an individual’s perspective, interpersonal relationships may have only negative impacts on health due to the stress of forming those relationships. From a societal perspective, however, interpersonal relationships may have positive impacts.
Social factors greatly affect health not only for young people but for people of all ages. The Japanese population is rapidly aging, leading to a number of health-related issues such as the formulation of welfare policies and local communities where the elderly live. Thus, social health warrants greater attention in research on health.
