This important volume offers a comprehensive overview of new approaches to health–related behavior from a self–regulation perspective.
It outlines assumptions on which self–regulation theories are based, discusses recent research and draws out the implications for practice with a particular focus on changing health behavior. Reflecting the notion that health–promoting behavior is goal–directed, chapters consider key factors such as:
- social influences
- the nature of health goals
- health risk behavior
- unintentional behavior
- maintaining self–control
- frustrations in goal striving
- maintaining health behavior change.
Self–Regulation in Health Behavior offers a valuable new perspective on health behavior. It is essential reading for MSc students in health psychology, as well as researchers, practising health psychologists and clinical health psychologists.
