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.
