Abstract Compared with higher-class individuals, the physical and mental health of the lower-class individuals is generally at a lower level. As a kind of coping responses, shift-and-persist strategies have been found to be effective in improving lower-class people’s health in adversity conditions. Shifting refers to an individual's acceptance of reality and cognitive reappraisal to adjust themselves to the environment in a stressful situation. Persisting means constantly searching for meaning in life, maintaining optimism, having strength and holding a stable self in the face of adversity. Studies have shown that shifting and persisting can both independently positively predict the health level of lower-social-class individuals. Moreover, shift-and-persist can serve as an integrated strategy to promote the health of people at lower class. In the future, researchers can continue to conduct in-depth empirical research, improve the ecological validity of the studies, and carry out applied practices aimed at promoting the health level of low-class individuals.
