Beschreibung
This textbook offers a fresh approach to health psychology through the theory and practice of behaviour change. Using an array of case studies from around the world, it discusses how we can develop and evaluate behaviour change interventions. The book encourages active engagement with contemporary discussions about health behaviours, covering areas of emerging importance such as weight stigma, vaping, nudges, vaccine hesitancy and paleo-inspired lifestyles. With a focus upon critical thinking, this book will equip students for success in their research projects and beyond.

Ideal for students of Health Behaviour Change and Health Psychology, this textbook is also relevant to those taking courses in related fields such as Nursing and Public Health.

Zusammenfassung
  • An emphasis on behaviour change, which is increasingly recognized as central to tackling both non-communicable and infectious disease.
  • Detailed coverage of theory relating to automatic processes as well as traditional models of conscious decision-making. This is particularly important when tackling health inequalities.
  • Helps the reader to become a more critical consumer of health news and information, through analysis of some of the latest dietary trends and chapters on research methods and bias.
  • Relates theory and evidence to real-world health interventions through a series of case studies that look at how different health issues have been tackled around the globe.
  • Online resources to support lecturers with both face-to-face and online teaching.
  • Rich pedagogy which features exercises and activities to consolidate understanding and inspire critical thinking.
