摘　　要：已有许多研究发现,女性患抑郁的概率大概是男性的2~3倍,而社会心理压力造成HPA轴的变化可能是个体产生抑郁和焦虑等心理障碍的神经机制之一。此外,女性相比男性会对压力事件更敏感,她们会更频繁的面临这种情境并且做出更激烈的应对反应,这种性别上的差异也可能是男女患抑郁症的概率出现差异的原因之一。因此,本文总结了部分前人关于社会心理压力对HPA轴反应影响的研究,发现男性经历压力后其HPA轴反应要高于女性,但会受到压力性质等因素的调节。未来可考虑采用不同的心理压力诱发范式进行更加深入的探索或采用纵向研究探究年龄因素对个体反应的影响。Many studies have found that the probability of women suffering from depression is about 2-3 times that of men, and the changes in the HPA axis caused by social psychological stress may be one of the neural mechanisms for individuals to produce depression and anxiety and other psy-chological disorders. In addition, women are more sensitive to stressful events than men, and they will face such situations more frequently and react more violently. This gender difference may also be one of the reasons for the difference in the incidence of depression between men and women. Therefore, this paper summarizes some previous studies on the influence of social psychological stress on HPA axis response, and finds that the HPA axis response of men is higher than that of women after experiencing stress, but it can be regulated by the nature of stress and other factors. In the future, different paradigms of psychological stress induction may be used for further exploration or longitudinal study to explore the influence of age factors on individual responses.
