Description:

Health and human behavior are closely related. This course reviews the numerous studies linking human behaviors and psychological variables to health status. Health and illness can be influenced by exercise, diet, stress, social relationships, coping behaviors, and psychological variables such as hardiness. In addition to behavior influencing health, health can also influence behavior. Health status may influence whether you go jogging, stay in bed, or even choose a particular career. In short, this course will examine the science that connects behavior to health and health to behavior. (Prerequisite: PSY 1113; in addition, six (6) hours of psychology are recommended)
