This document discusses factors that influence healthy behaviors and longevity. It examines biological, psychological, and social determinants of health, including how personality traits in childhood and adolescence can impact adult health behaviors and risks. Several studies are cited that link traits like conscientiousness and agreeableness to behaviors like smoking, diet, and risk-taking that then determine overall health and lifespan. Theories of health behavior are also mentioned.

This document provides an overview of the Health Belief Model (HBM), a psychological model that aims to explain health behaviors by focusing on individual attitudes and beliefs. The HBM was developed in the 1950s to understand why people failed to participate in disease prevention or screening programs. It identifies key factors - perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers - that influence health behaviors. The model has since been expanded and used to study various behaviors. Research applying the HBM found nursing students were more likely to practice breast self-exams than their mothers, suggesting education can impact health perceptions.health related behaviour ( 悋忰悋惷惘悸 悋悽悋愕悸).pptx

This document discusses health-related behaviors from several perspectives. It defines health behaviors as actions that affect health or mortality, either positively or negatively. Examples include diet, physical activity, substance use, and medical treatment adherence. The document then examines health behaviors through a social determinants lens, noting how societal institutions and inequalities influence behaviors. It also explores biosocial processes like embodiment and biological embedding that integrate social and biological factors over the life course. The document emphasizes that health behaviors reflect interactions between individuals and their environmental contexts.Sociology 2 concept of health and disease

Health education is important for three key reasons:
1) Health has physical, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual dimensions that are dynamic, interrelated and interdependent.
2) Personal, social, cultural and environmental factors influence health behaviors and choices around nutrition and physical activity.
3) Individual, group and community actions that promote health strategies can address inequities and promote well-being and safety.Careif Wellbeing Report executive summary

SURVEY OF PERSONAL WELLBEING. REPORT & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It is estimated that more than 450 million people in the world are affected by disorders of the mind, manifested by emotional or mental distress. The challenges for prevention and healing are significant, ranging from the social stigma that prevents people from seeking help, a lack of awareness in people themselves, insufficient resources and trained professionals, and the lack of culturally informed assessment and support.
As the world experiences unprecedented social and demographic change, wellbeing (social capital) has risen up the political agenda for a complex mix of philosophical and economic factors. At the personal level, wellbeing enables us to live fulfilled lives.
CAREIF with the WPA conducted an international WELLBEING Survey to understand more about what constitutes wellbeing in different cultures and settings, and how we can enhance personal wellbeing for individual and social benefit. This report will be launched at a CAREIF celebratory reception in the House of Lords (UK) on 26 October 2016.

Systematic gender differences exist in areas like division of labor, education, medical access, and social liberties associated with resources. Measures of gender inequality in health include mortality, morbidity, healthcare access and quality, clinical research, and health outcomes.

One major role of psychology is to improve the lives of the people we touch. Whether through research, service, or provision of primary or secondary health care, we look forward to the day when we can adequately prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, and foster positive states of being in balance with others and the environment. This is not an easy task; a multitude of forces influences our health and the development of diseases.
As we strive to meet this challenge, the important role of culture in contributing to the maintenance of health and the etiology and treatment of disease has become increasingly clear. Although our goals of maintaining health and preventing and treating diseases may be the same across cultures, cultures vary in their perceptions of illness and their definitions of what is considered healthy and what is considered a disease. From anthropological and sociological perspectives,油disease油refers to a malfunctioning or maladaptation of biologic and psychophysiologic processes in the individual and油illness油refers to the personal, interpersonal, and cultural reactions to disease or discomfort (Kleinman, Eisenberg, & Good,油2006; p. 141). Thus, how we view health, disease, and illness, is strongly shaped by culture.
This chapter explores how cultural factors sway physical health and disease processes, and investigates our attempts to treat both psychological and sociological influences. We begin with an examination of cultural differences in the definition of health and present three indicators of health worldwide: life expectancy, infant mortality, and subjective well-being. We will then review the considerable amount of research concerning the relationship between culture and heart disease, other physical disease processes, eating disorders, obesity, and suicide. Next, we will explore differences in health care systems across countries. Finally, we will summarize the research in the form of a model of cultural influences on health.

Additional studies suggest both the dorsal and ventral prefrontal cortex must be damaged to see impairments in risky decision making.

Neural signals are transmitted through both electrical and chemical means. An electrical signal travels down a neuron's dendrites to its cell body. If the signal reaches the axon hillock's threshold, the axon is activated and fires, transmitting an electrical signal down the axon. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released across the synaptic cleft to the next cell. The membrane potential, maintained by ion concentration gradients and sodium-potassium pumps, underlies the neuron's resting potential. When neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the post-synaptic cell, they generate graded excitatory or inhibitory post-synaptic potentials that are integrated and can trigger an all-or-none action potential for signal transmission along the axThe CELLS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.pptx
