Abstract
Social epidemiology is this field of inquiry that regards the role of social and psychological factors in the aetiology of chronic diseases. In his examination of the evolution of the field, the author stresses the reconceptualization efforts that have been done in the 70's and that gave meaning to research on stress, traits or types of personalities and social support. In conclusion, this research tradition is viewed as perhaps overemphasizing the identification of risk factors while underemphasizing the explanation of the conditions under which good health is maintained.
