The social environment has important effects on physiological processes. One can distinguish different dimensions of social environmental stimuli. These dimensions can have distinctive influences on physiological processes. The effects may differ from one individual to another. This review surveys some of the evidence supporting these assumptions, presents a model for conceptualizing social environment, and discusses implications for person-environment interaction.
