TL;DR: Data from four large epidemiologic studies demonstrate that the effects of economic disadvantage are cumulative, with the greatest risk of poor mental and physical health seen among those who experienced sustained hardship over time.

TL;DR: It is indicated that hopelessness is a strong predictor of adverse health outcomes, independent of depression and traditional risk factors, in middle-aged men from the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease study.

TL;DR: The overall pattern of results suggests that perceived health levels mainly reflect underlying disease burden, and were considerably stronger in those with prevalent diseases than in those who were healthy.

TL;DR: This population-based study provides the strongest epidemiological evidence to date for a significant relationship between depressive symptoms and stroke mortality and contributes to the growing literature on the adverse health effects of depression.

TL;DR: Forgiveness is a variable closely related to religiousness and spirituality that has been hypothesized to be protective of mental and physical health as mentioned in this paper, however, we do not clearly understand which aspects of forgiveness are most clearly associated with health outcomes, and the conditions under which these relationships occur.
