About this ebook
This text offers a comprehensive overview of new approaches to health-related behaviour from a self-regulation perspective. The authors outline the assumptions on which self-regulation theories are based, discuss recent research and draw out the implications for practice with a particular focus on changing health behaviour. The book is arranged in two sections – Goal Setting and Goal Activation in Health Behaviour and Goal Striving and Goal Persistence. The epilogue compares self-regulation theories with the prevailing social-cognitive models.

I would recommend buying a different version. I constantly have issues with this ebook. I purchased it in full. But it constantly goes back to the preview mode (where you can only read up to page 12). And I have to report this issue to the help center every time.
