Download or read book Social Psychology of Health written by Peter Salovey and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes classic and contemporary theory and research in social psychology that sheds light on how people think about health and illness, as well as their willingness to engage in health-relevant behaviors. The Editors have selected papers that serve to illustrate the reciprocal relation between advances in theory and advances in practice. The first two sections of the volume examine people's mental representations of health and health practices, and how these personal construals and implicit theories are linked to behavior. People can react to new health information in different ways - with acceptance, defensiveness, or downright ignorance. Research that can help us to understand these varied reactions is examined in Section 3. The following sections consider how classic social psychological theories and perspectives can be used to understand behavior relevant to health and illness. These include social influence, social comparison, pluralistic ignorance, social support, cognitive dissonance, message framing, and attribution theory. Finally, several articles consider links between personality characteristics and health, such as those between hostility and heart disease, and confiding traumatic experiences and immune function. The volume also contains a introductory chapter by the editors which provides a discussion of why social and personality psychologists should be interested in health and illness. Together with overviews for each section, discussion questions, and suggestions for further reading, the volume is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on health psychology. The volume is also appropriate for courses in related disciplines such as public health, nursing, health education, health communication, and other allied health sciences.

Download or read book Alcohol Use Disorders written by Hiram E. Fitzgerald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol Use Disorders takes a life-span/developmental approach to understanding the etiologic processes that heighten risk or resilience factors for alcohol use disorders (AUD). Contemporary understanding benefits from thirty years of longitudinal studies that were specifically designed to assess pre-onset origins, predictors of onset, and outcomes through early adulthood. The overriding theme of the volume is that the origins and expression of AUD are best understood within the context of developmental processes and dynamic systems organization and change. Such dynamic systems give rise to diverse pathways that are characterized by multi-finality and equi-finality due to the exchanges among genes, epigenetic processes, and the complexities of the individual organism's experiential world. For some individuals, these dynamic processes lead to risk cumulative or cascade effects that embody adverse childhood experiences that exacerbate risk, predict early onset drinking (or smoking), and are highly likely to lead to AUD during the transitions to adolescence and emerging adulthood. In other cases, protective factors within or outside of the individual's immediate family enable embodiment of normative stress regulatory systems and neural networks that support resilience and prevention of AUD and other addictive behaviors.

Download or read book EBOOK: Psychology And Health Promotion written by Paul Bennett and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 1997-09-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What part do behavioural and psychological factors play in the health of an individual? Which theories contribute to health promotion at the individual and community level? How effective are such interventions in improving people's health? Psychology and Health Promotion is the first book to set out in clear and authoritative terms the role of psychological theory in health promotion. It adopts both structuralist and social regulation models of health and health promotion, considering the significance of psychological processes in each case. The authors examine how behaviour and the social environment may contribute to health status and how psychological processes may mediate the effect of environmental conditions. They go on to consider the theory underlying interventions that are aimed at individuals and large populations, and the effectiveness of attempts to change both individual behaviour and the environmental factors that may contribute to ill-health. This highly approachable volume is structured as a textbook and includes a summary and further reading at the end of each chapter, as well as a substantial bibliography. It is designed to provide an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in health psychology, clinical psychology and social psychology as well as students and practitioners in health and social welfare, including health promotion.

Download or read book Marijuana Impaired Youths written by Kay Wachuku and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many 1iteratures that offer insight on substance abuse treatment, yet very few have targeted specific treatment protocol for youths. Marijuana is the national youth drug of choice. Our society has a very liberal view of marijuana. As a result, we generally tend to undermine the serious problems of marijuana addiction among our youths. Marijuana is undoubtedly a major gateway drug to other letha1 drugs, but its ability to stymie ambition, productivity, and hope among youths continues to receive second-hand consideration in our national social problems. Many youths abuse marijuana, yet there are no treatment programs specifically targeted to treating marijuana-addicted youths. As medical marijuana movement gathers momentum nation-wide, it is imperative that we prepare for potential consequences of the misconceptions of medical marijuana. A recent CNN poll indicated that 75% of Americans favor legalizing medical marijuana with a view to taxing its sales and using the money to defray medication cost for seniors. This perverse intent to hide a bad motive underneath a good one if allowed to materialize wou1d have far-reaching consequences. Marijuana Impaired Youths is a c1inical handbook intended to educate the general public about the implicit and explicit dangers inherent in marijuana use and abuse. The book epitomizes the culmination of twelve years of clinica1 experience in working with marijuana abusing youths. The main objective of the book is to offer a desktop reference for addiction counselors, mentors, school counselors, teachers and parents for working with youths. The book uses vivid vignettes of real life clinical literary sketches to illustrate the challenge, cognitive damage, discomfiture and distortion a marijuana abusing youth faces. Most importantly, the sketches offer serious professional insight on how to confront and treat youths who abuse marijuana. The ultimate goal of the author is to educate counselors, youth mentors, teachers and parents on the dangers of marijuana.
