This Handbook provides a broad and comprehensive overview of
psychological research on alcohol consumption. It explores the
psychological theories underpinning alcohol use and misuse,
discusses the interventions that can be designed around these
theories, and offers key insight into future developments within
the field. A range of international experts assess the unique
factors that contribute to alcohol-related behaviour as
differentiated from other health-related behaviours. They cover the
theory and context of alcohol consumption, including possible
implications of personality type, motivation and self-regulation,
and cultural and demographic factors. After reviewing the evidence
for psychological theories and predictors as accounts for alcohol
consumption, the book goes on to focus on external influences on
consumption and interventions for reducing alcohol consumption,
including those based on purchasing and consumption behaviour,
technologies such as personalised feedback apps, and social and
media phenomena such as "Dry January" and "Hello Sunday Morning".
It brings together cutting-edge contemporary research on alcohol
consumption in childhood and adolescence, including topics such as
managing offers or drinks, "pre-drinking", online identities, how
children develop their beliefs about alcohol and how adolescents
discuss alcohol with their parents. The book also offers a rounded
presentation of the tensions involved in debates around the
psychological impacts of alcohol use, discussing its role in
helping people to socialise and unwind; as well as recognising the
possible negative impacts on health, education and relationships.
This book will be of interest to academics, policymakers, public
health officials, practitioners, charities and other stakeholders
interested in understanding how alcohol affects people
psychologically. This book will also be a key resource for students
and researchers from across the social sciences.

Health Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies reflects and
expands upon 13 of the most innovative contributions to the field
from researchers such as Friedman and Rosenman, Marmot,
Kiecolt-Glaser, and Ajzen. This book will familiarise you with the
classic studies, spanning a period from the 1950s to 2010s, and
show you how they continue to apply to the world today. Revisiting
the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to
the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core
topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask
more interesting and challenging questions about the field by
encouraging a deeper level of engagement both with the details of
the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution.
Edited by leading scholars in their field and written by
researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, the chapters
in each text provide details of the original works and their
theoretical and empirical impact, and then discuss the ways in
which thinking and research have advanced in the years since the
studies were conducted. Mark Tarrant is Associate Professor at the
University of Exeter Medical School. Martin S. Hagger is
Professor at the University of California, Merced and Finland
Distinguished Professor (FiDiPro) at University of Jyväskylä.

Social problems in many domains, including health, education,
social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in
human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social
problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize
and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to
promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus,
The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of
contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It
summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in
chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and
practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology,
sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and
implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers,
students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current
knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop
effective interventions to change behavior.
