N2  - "Self-regulation theory focuses on the ways in which individuals direct and monitor their activities and emotions in order to attain their goals. The Self-regulation of Health and Illness Behaviour presents an up-to-date account of the latest developments in the field, covering representational beliefs about chronic illness, cultural influences on illness representations, the role of anxiety and defensive denial in health-related experiences and behaviors, the contribution of personality, and the social dynamics underlying gender differences in adaptation to illness. Integrating theoretical and empirical developments, this text provides both researchers and professionals with a comprehensive review of self-regulation and health."--Publisher description
