determining which individuals perform such behaviours has become a
key area of research within health psychology. This book provides
an overview of current research and practical details of how to
apply the most widely used social cognition models to predict and
change health behaviours. This popular, established text has been
expanded to include the most up-to-date research on social
cognition models and health behaviours. This third edition takes
account of important developments in the field, and features:Four

the field and provides key reading for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students, health promoters, health psychologists and
others interested in understanding and changing health
behaviour.Conner and Norman's book has become the cornerstone of
teaching of social cognition models in health psychology courses

approaches by prominent researchers, describing recent developments
and relevant research findings. The final chapter by the editors
