Klappentext The SAGE Handbook of Health Psychology represents a landmark work in the field, gathering together in a single volume contributions from an internationally renowned group of scholars. It provides a definitive, one-stop, authoritative guide to the major themes and debates in health psychology, both past and present, and should in time become a classic reference work for a wide, international readership.SAGE Handbook of Health Psychology Inhaltsverzeichnis Editors¿ Preface - Stephen Sutton, Andrew Baum and Marie Johnston Context and Perspectives in Health Psychology - Edward P Sarafino Epidemiology of Health and Illness - Reiner Rugulies, Birgit Aust and S Leonard Syme A Socio-Psycho-Physiological Perspective Biological Mechanisms of Health and Disease - Brent N Henderson and Andrew Baum Determinants of Health-Related Behaviours - Stephen Sutton Theoretical and Methodological Issues Health-Related Cognitions - Keith J Petrie and James W Pennebaker Individual differences, Health and Illness - Richard J Contrada and Tanya M Goyal The Role of Emotional Traits and Generalized Expectancies Stress, Health and Illness - Andrew Steptoe and Susan Ayers Living with Chronic Illness - Howard Leventhal et al A Contextualized, Self-Regulation Approach Lifespan, Gender and Cross-Cultural Perspectives in Health Psychology - Simon Murphy and Paul Bennett Communicating about Health Threats and Treatments - Theresa M Marteau and John Weinman Applications in Health Psychology - Stan Maes and Sandra N Boersma How Effective are Interventions?

Relazione
"With its refreshing reliance on contributors from outside the US, this handbook offers a more global perspective than most. It also provides more intensive discussion of issues and research than is found in current introductory textbooks. Most of the contributors fill in significant gaps in the research literature on health psychology, making this book especially valuable for those seeking thesis or dissertation topics. . . . Readers will find this handbook both intellectually stimulating and useful." M.K. Snooks CHOICE 20050701
