Series: Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies

Health Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies reflects and expands upon 13 of the most innovative contributions to the field from researchers such as Friedman and Rosenman, Marmot, Kiecolt-Glaser, and Ajzen. This book will familiarise you with the classic studies, spanning a period from the 1950s to 2010s, and show you how they continue to apply to the world today.

Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today.

It provokes students to ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level of engagement both with the details of the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution. Edited by leading scholars in their field and written by researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, the chapters in each text provide details of the original works and their theoretical and empirical impact, and then discuss the ways in which thinking and research have advanced in the years since the studies were conducted.

Mark Tarrant is Associate Professor at the University of Exeter Medical School.

Martin S. Hagger is Professor at the University of California, Merced and Finland Distinguished Professor (FiDiPro) at University of Jyvaskyla.
