- Synopsis
- Health Psychology: Understanding the Mind-Body Connection by Catherine A. Sanderson provides an exceptionally clear overview of the field by connecting foundational concepts with cutting-edge research and real-life applications. Now available with the Vantage learning platform, every chapter is thoroughly updated with 30+ new references to reflect changes since the COVID-19 pandemic with a special emphasis on social determinants of health. Recent studies look at topics such as the role of TikTok and other social media platforms in shaping health-related behavior, the influence of anti-transgender laws on suicide attempts, the role of neighborhood green space in preventing chronic illness, and the impact of having good relationships on longevity. Continuing her emphasis on the importance of research methods, the author has updated every Research in Action feature, addressing questions such as Do celebrities help or harm health-related behavior? and Are presidential elections bad for your heart? Finally, the feature Applying Health Psychology to Your Own Life invites students to try highly relevant research-supported strategies for themselves.
