Description
Reviewers' comments on the first edition
"This is an excellent book... The chapters are all of a very high standard - a testament to the value of edited books by experienced and active research academics. Ask yourself how many other books have left you knowing more about what theory has contributed to your understanding of health behaviour and where the literature is going, and you will appreciate the book's distinctive contribution... The book is required reading. Buy it, and persuade your library to stock up too."
British Journal of Health Psychology
"The editors have done well to provide a clearly structured overview of these key social cognition models... helpful for health promoters and others working in the field of health behaviour."
Health Matters
"A really excellent volume which should be owned by all serious health psychologists and should be highly recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in health psychology."
Psychology Teaching Review

Assess the advantages and disadvantages of using each of these models
Appropriately apply each model in practice
Adequately analyze and report the results
Apply the models to change health behaviour
