Promoting Health Chapter 12, Lecture 6 “By one estimate, moderate exercise adds not only quality of life (more energy and better mood) but also quantity of life – two additional years, on average.” - David Myers

Promoting Health Promoting health is generally defined as the absence of disease. We only think of health when we are diseased. However, health psychologists say that promoting health begins by preventing illness and enhancing well-being, which is a constant endeavor.

Coping with Stress Reducing stress by changing events that cause stress or by changing how we react to stress is called problem-focused coping. Emotion-focused coping is when we cannot change a stressful situation, and we respond by attending to our own emotional needs.

Perceived Control Research with rats and humans indicates that the absence of control over stressors is a predictor of health problems.

Explanatory Style People with an optimistic (instead of pessimistic) explanatory style tend to have more control over stressors, cope better with stressful events, have better moods, and have a stronger immune system.

Social Support Supportive family members, marriage partners, and close friends help people cope with stress. Their immune functioning calms the cardiovascular system and lowers blood pressure.

Managing Stress Effects Having a sense of control, an optimistic explanatory style, and social support can reduce stress and improve health.

Aerobic Exercise Can aerobic exercise boost spirits? Many studies suggest that aerobic exercise can elevate mood and well- being because aerobic exercise raises energy, increases self-confidence, and lowers tension, depression, and anxiety.

Biofeedback, Relaxation, and Meditation Biofeedback systems use electronic devices to inform people about their physiological responses and gives them the chance to bring their response to a healthier range. Relaxation and meditation have similar effects in reducing tension and anxiety.

Life-Style Modification Modifying a Type-A lifestyle may reduce the recurrence of heart attacks.

Spirituality & Faith Communities Regular religious attendance has been a reliable predictor of a longer life span with a reduced risk of dying.

Intervening Factors Investigators suggest there are three factors that connect religious involvement and better health.
