This review is from: Health and Behavior: The Interplay of Biological, Behavioral, and Societal Influences (Hardcover)
People know smoking is bad for them, yet they continue to smoke. People want to lose weight but refuse to diet and exercise. Drinking and driving is still the major cause of fatal motor vehicle accidents despite everyone knowing how dangerous it is.Medicine can only do so much to help people stay healthy, ultimate responsibility rests upon the individual. Yet self determination requires behavior modification and while one may be determined they just cannot modify. In the past 20 years great strides have been made in the 'soft sciences' of psychology and social science looking for insight into the human thinking process and how innate ability and environmental exposure affects it. This book adeptly looks into this research and provides a broad basic report on the current state of behavioral theory. In short, the text reports the current nexus between science and philosophy and provides edification regarding best current understanding science has. High point includes interesting discussion regarding relationship between Health Disparities and behavior. |
