The Role of Emotions and Injunctive Norms in Breastfeeding: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2021-02-23 Pascale Sophie Russell, Debbie M. Smith, Michèle D. Birtel, Kathryn H. Hart, Sarah E. Golding
Abstract Breastfeeding has many known benefits, but rates vary globally. We propose two main reasons why psychological theory and interventions have not been successful to date in explaining breastfeeding behaviours. Specifically, prior research underestimates the importance of 1) specific emotions and 2) wider injunctive influences (i.e., societal and moral norms about what women feel they ought to

A New Perspective on Dyadic Regulation in Chronic Illness: The Dyadic Regulation Connectivity Model Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2021-01-11 Evangelos C. Karademas
Abstract Several theoretical models have described the ways that patients and partners respond to a health problem. Most of these models are faced with limitations regarding the role of cognitive/emotional appraisals and coping behaviors, and the potential interactions between individual and dyadic variables. Therefore, new theoretical approaches are needed to capture the multiple processes that take

Communicating evidence about the environment’s role in obesity and support for government policies to tackle obesity: a systematic review with meta-analysis Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2020-10-02 James P. Reynolds, Milica Vasiljevic, Mark Pilling, Theresa M. Marteau
ABSTRACT Public support for many policies that tackle obesity by changing environments is low. This may reflect commonly held causal beliefs about obesity, namely that it is due to failures of self-control rather than environmental influences. Several studies have sought to increase public support by changing these and similar causal beliefs, with mixed results. The current review is the first systematic

Participants' enactment of behavior change techniques: A call for increased focus on what people do to manage their motivation and behaviour. Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2020-09-23 Nelli Hankonen
Intervention effectiveness does not only depend on fidelity of intervention delivery, but also the enactment, or use, of behavior change techniques (BCTs) by the participants. For example, it is not sufficient that intervention provider prompts an intervention participant to self-monitor their physical activity, crucially, the participant must also enact self-monitoring. Theoretical and conceptual

The gender context of pain. Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2020-09-02 Edmund Keogh
Pain is a major source of global suffering, with women bearing the greatest burden. Alongside biology, psychological and social factors, including gender, help explain these differences. However, there has been no direct attempt to develop a unified social psychological model of men and women’s pain. By drawing on approaches to both gender and pain, a gender context model of pain is presented. It proposes

Impact of health warning labels on selection and consumption of food and alcohol products: systematic review with meta-analysis. Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2020-06-09 Natasha Clarke,Emily Pechey,Daina Kosīte,Laura M König,Eleni Mantzari,Anna K M Blackwell,Theresa M Marteau,Gareth J Hollands
Reducing harmful consumption of food (including non-alcoholic drinks) and alcoholic drinks would prevent much disease. Evidence from tobacco control shows that placing health warning labels (HWLs) on these products reduces their selection and consumption. A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted using Cochrane methods to assess the impact on selection (including hypothetical selection)

Physical activity and subjective well-being in healthy individuals: a meta-analytic review. Health Psychol. Rev. (IF 3.705) Pub Date : 2020-05-26 Susanne Buecker,Thomas Simacek,Britta Ingwersen,Sophia Terwiel,Bianca A Simonsmeier
Longstanding research suggests a positive relation between physical activity and health. However, when investigating this relation most studies focused on the absence of disease or infirmity as health indicators. The relation between physical activity and positive health-related constructs such as subjective well-being (SWB) remains oftentimes unexplored. The present meta-analysis offers a rigorous

In this brief commentary I reflect on three issues: (a) the importance of small treatment effects; (b) variability in how interventions are delivered; and (c) the
