Health Psychology: Well-Being in a Diverse World introduces students to the main topics and issues in health psychology through a unique perspective focused on diversity. Using a conversational tone, author Regan A. R. Gurung explores the key determinants of behavior--such as family, environment, ethnicity, and religion--and connects concepts to personal experiences for students to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the material. Extensively updated based on over 1, 000 new articles cited, and with a new chapter on research methods, the Fourth Edition reflects the latest cutting-edge research in the field to explain more thoroughly how context and culture are important predictors of healthy behavior.
