Introduction to Health Psychology (Intro Psych Tutorial #206)

Показать описание
In this video I introduce the unit on health psychology by defining several key terms and discussing the challenges of understanding the causes of illness. I describe etiology (or aetiology), epidemiology, the use of retrospective & prospective studies, and the dangers of coincidental correlations. I also consider how psychological factors may influence health, whether in the extreme of "voodoo death" or "psychophysiological death", or by influencing the expression of symptoms in psychosomatic illnesses.

Thank you for making these videos. They have helped me tremendously in my preparation for 1st yr psych exams. Your textbooks (which I purchased at affordable prices on Kindle) have also been the perfect accompaniment to my prescribed textbook. They filled the gaps in my knowledge and consolidated my learning. Thank you.
