In the last 20-30 years, research on affective determinants of
health behavior has proliferated. Affective Determinants of Health
Behavior brings together this burgeoning area of research into a
single volume and features contributions from leading experts in
their respective areas. Editors David M. Williams, Ryan E. Rhodes,
and Mark T. Conner and their contributing authors focus on a
fascinating range of affective concepts, including (but not limited
to) hedonic response, incidental affect, perceived satisfaction,
anticipated affect, affective attitudes, and affective
associations. In the first part of the book, the role of affective
concepts in multiple theories of health behavior is highlighted and
expanded, including theories of action control, dual-processing,
temporal self-regulation, self-determination, and planned behavior,
along with a new theory of hedonic motivation. The second part of
the book focuses on the role of affective concepts in specific
health behavior domains, including physical activity, eating,
smoking, substance use, sex, tanning, blood donation, the
performance of health professionals, cancer screenings, and cancer
control. Affective Determinants of Health Behavior offers readers
an important window into existing research and serves as a showcase
for important insights on possible new directions and implications
for intervention.
