Give an example of a behaviour which is detrimental to health (a behavioural pathogen).

Health Behaviours
What is meant by the term health behaviours?
Give an example of a behaviour which is detrimental to health (a behavioural pathogen). What is the evidence that supports this view? To what extent is this major health concern? You may wish to give some epidemiological data here.

Give an example of a behaviour that promotes health and wellbeing (a behavioural immunogen). What is the evidence that supports this view? How widely is this behaviour engaged in within the general population? Again you might want to include some data from the Household and Lifestyle survey.
You should choose behaviours referred to in your wellness plan.

Psychological influences on health behaviour
How does psychology explain why people engage in harmful behaviours (or do not engage in health enhancing behaviours)? You should focus on the types of behaviours highlighted in your wellness plan.

Please choose the theories or models that are most relevant to the behaviour change topics you have focussed upon as behavioural pathogens or immunogens.
Refer to your wellness plan. To what extent have you made progress in achieving the goals set out in the plan? From a psychological perspective what has helped and what has hindered your progress?
In this way the aim is to consider psychological theory in a very applied way in terms of changes in your own health behaviour.
