Abstract
⺠Our UK longitudinal study investigates changes in three individual-level social capital proxies and psychological health (PH). ⺠The unique design employs an autoregressive function to derive the true influence of explanatory variables on PH over time. ⺠Generalised trust was the only social capital proxy to maintain an association with PH in multivariable models. ⺠Most considered measures of socioeconomic status and social support were rendered insignificant. ⺠However, trust could influence psychological health via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in response to perceived stressors.
