Health Psychology provides an accessible and empirically-based approach to understanding health psychology. It goes beyond other mainstream textbooks by introducing students to global and cross-cultural health issues, covering cutting-edge scientific and medical topics in ways that students can understand. The author integrates core theory, research, and practice in an engaging and practical way.

The author integrates the biopsychosocial perspective, building on traditional content and topics in order to aid student understanding, interest, and learning. This textbook incorporates engaging applications, case studies and frequent examples, clear and thorough explanations, and a student-friendly tone. It insists on the implications of positive and negative health behaviors for a student’s life. The author also provides an emphasis on developmental influences on health.

Launchpad with e-textbook is an online course space with practice quizzes, videos, video activities, and other tutorials plus a gradebook for instructors.

A fresh, student-accessible, global perspective to health psychology

Health Psychology provides an accessible and empirically-based approach to understanding health psychology. It goes beyond other mainstream textbooks by introducing students to global and cross-cultural health issues, covering cutting-edge scientific and medical topics in ways that students can understand. The author integrates core theory, research, and practice in an engaging and practical way.

The author integrates the biopsychosocial perspective, building on traditional content and topics in order to aid student understanding, interest, and learning. This textbook incorporates engaging applications, case studies and frequent examples, clear and thorough explanations, and a student-friendly tone. It insists on the implications of positive and negative health behaviors for a student’s life. The author also provides an emphasis on developmental influences on health.

Launchpad with e-textbook is an online course space with practice quizzes, videos, video activities, and other tutorials plus a gradebook for instructors.

Features

  • A Global and Cross-cultural Perspective: The text introduces a global and cross-cultural perspective on health, including health disparities within the United States and around the world, and interweaves this perspective throughout every chapter. Around the World boxes in each chapter offer specific cross-cultural case studies of student interest, demonstrating the applications of health psychology across the globe.

  • Addressing Misconceptions: Students are often exposed to a wealth of health misinformation from the media, family, and cultural beliefs. This text emphasizes that health psychology is a science and that its theories are grounded in science.
  • In the News boxes in each chapter add examples from current events, to show the relevance, currency, and applications of health psychology. They draw on the popular media to highlight health issues that have had a significant impact on health outcomes and our scientific understanding.
  • Open-ended Thinking About Health questions at the end of each section prompt students to apply what they have just read to their own lives, stimulating learning through application.
  • Relatable chapter-opening vignettes, a colorful, friendly design, and plenty of photos and graphics make this the most student-friendly health psychology text on the market.

New to This Edition

  • LaunchPad with ebook, videos, video activities, critical thinking exercises, Check Your Health activities and practice quizzes to support student learning.
  • Thorough updates and new coverage in each chapter, with new topics ranging from the theoretical (e.g., open science, the replicability crisis, social determinants of health, the brain disease model of addiction) to the practical (e.g., the microbiome, acculturative stress, sleep hygiene, food addiction).
  • All new critical thinking questions at the end of each In the News and Around the World box feature, encouraging students to become involved with each case study.
  • 75% new data in text and in all figures, all reflecting the diversity and dynamism of health psychology.
  • New In the News boxes cover relevant current applications of health psychology such as The Woman Who Feels No Pain and Can a Smart Watch Save Your Life?

The major strengths are the developmental focus, the cross-cultural emphasis, and the engaging style with current news articles that provide opportunities to apply research and appreciate the relevance of this material in students’ personal and professional lives"
– Julie Ann McIntyre, Ph.D., The Sage Colleges

"I like the author’s vision regarding emphasizing global health and I am particularly happy that her theories are grounded in science. It is important that students find the book readable and understandable and writing it in a multicultural and scientific way is very appealing. I also am pleased that case studies are provided throughout each chapter. Case studies combined with relevant issues from the World Health Organization should be compelling to students. Also unique is the developmental aspects of the book. I also like the addition of information regarding women’s health issues as well."
– Robin Campbell, Eastern Florida State College

Dr. Frazier’s current research areas focus on stress and coping with life transitions in an effort to maximize mental and physical health outcomes. Of specific interest is gleaning an understanding of the adjustment to living with chronic illness and the processes associated with developing resilience and avenues toward successful aging.

Dr. Frazier has authored more than 30 articles and book chapters, and her research has appeared in Psychology and Aging, Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences, The Gerontologist, Experimental Aging Research, Research on Aging, International Journal of Aging and Human Development, Basic and Applied Social Psychology, Eating and Weight Disorders, Journal of Behavioral Health, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, and Journal of Applied Social Psychology.
