Predicting and Changing Health Behaviour: Research and Practice with Social Cognition Models

Predicting and Changing Health Behaviour boasts many of the leading names in the field and provides key reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, health promoters, health psychologists and others interested in understanding and changing health behaviour.

Conner and Norman's book has become the cornerstone of teaching of social cognition models in health psychology courses and the update is very welcome. The new edition retains the format that makes the book very accessible to researchers, teachers and students alike i.e. a thorough overview of each of nine theoretical approaches by prominent researchers, describing recent developments and relevant research findings. The final chapter by the editors identifies important cross-cutting issues and pointers to future trends. In sum, this is the definitive text in this important area of research and application.
