The field of health psychology has exploded in the last decade due
to progress identifying physiological mechanisms by which
psychological, social, and behavioral factors can put people's
health and well-being at risk. The Handbook of Physiological
Research Methods in Health Psychology provides thorough,
state-of-the-art, and user-friendly coverage of basic techniques
for measurement of physiological variables in health psychology
research. It is designed to serve as a primary reference source for
researchers and students interested in expanding their research to
consider a biopsychosocial approach. Chapters addressing key
physiological measures have been written by international experts
with an eye towards documenting essential information that must be
considered in order to accurately and reliably measure biological
samples. The book is not intended to be a lab manual of specific
biomedical techniques, nor is it intended to provide extensive
physiological or anatomical information. Rather, it takes the
approach most useful for a non-specialist who seeks guidance on how
and when to collect biological measures but who will have the
actual samples assayed elsewhere. The Handbook can be thought of as
a primer or a gateway book for researchers new to the area of
physiological measurement and for readers who would like to better
understand the meaning of physiological measures they encounter in
research reports.
