Health psychology

The health unit looks at how biological, cognitive, and sociocultural factors may affect our health. We look at the origin of health problems - such as stress and obesity. In addition, we will look at how psychologists attempt to change people's behaviours and the obstacles to change.  Finally, we will look at specific health programs and why they were (or were not) effective.
