Health Psychology by Richard O. Straub - Seventh Edition, 2023 from Macmillan Student Store

The most current, accessible and engaging introduction to health psychology today.

Straub’s Health Psychology explores the interrelationship of psychological and physical well-being, making meaningful connections between health psychology theory and research and their own everyday experience.  Straub explores the main ideas of the field from a biopsychosocial perspective, drawing on the latest research, engaging examples, and thorough considerations of diversity issues as they relate to health psychology.

Features

Fully integrated gender and cultural diversity coverage. Promoting understanding of, and respect for, differences among groups of people and how these differences affect health and illness. The Diversity and Healthy Living boxes found throughout the text expand the integrated coverage of gender and multicultural issues by highlighting specific health issues.

Biopsychosocial approach. The book follows the biopsychosocial model as the basic organizing template. Each chapter dealing with a specific health problem—on cardiovascular disease and diabetes, cancer, and substance use/abuse, for example—presents a critical analysis of what we know to be the underlying biological, psychological, and social factors in the onset of the health problem, as well as how these factors affect the course of the disease and the outcome.

Engaging Pedagogy including Your Health Assets boxes, Interpreting Data boxes, and Check Up on Health questions that invite students to think critically about the science of health psychology and its application to their own lives.

New to This Edition

Coverage of the COVID-19 Pandemic throughout the text, including updated coverage of COVID misinformation and examination of the effect of COVID-19 on stress

Continued focus on diversity and inclusion including new coverage of transgender health, updated discussions of health disparities based on race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status, and updated language to combat bias and stigma

Updated coverage of technology in health including updated coverage of telehealth and the use of smartphone apps to promote health behaviors.

“This book is written at the perfect level for undergraduates...I often turn to it myself when I am looking for a simple explanation of a phenomena”
 – Marc Dingman, Pennsylvania State University

“Straub emphasizes the biopsychosocial model and presents critical content in health psychology in a clear way”
 – Sasha Karnes, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

Authors

Richard O. Straub

Richard O. Straub is professor emeritus of psychology and founding director of the graduate program in health psychology at the University of Michigan, Dearborn. After receiving his PhD in experimental psychology from Columbia University and serving as a National Institute of Mental Health fellow at the University of California, Irvine, Dr. Straub joined the University of Michigan faculty in 1979. Since then, he has focused on research in health psychology, especially mind–body issues in stress, cardiovascular reactivity, and the effects of exercise on physical and psychological health. His research has been published in such journals as Health Psychology, the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, and the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. A recipient of the University of Michigan’s Distinguished Teaching award and the Alumni Society’s Faculty Member of the Year award, Dr. Straub is extensively involved in undergraduate and graduate medical education. His professional devotion to health psychology dovetails with his personal devotion to fitness and good health. Dr. Straub has completed hundreds of road races and marathons (including multiple Boston Marathons, Ironman Triathlons, and the IRONMAN Hawaii and half-IRONMAN World Championship races).
