It provides a robust definition and theoretical framework for habit as well as up-to-date information on habit measurement, addressing such questions as which mechanisms are involved in habitual action and whether people can report accurately on their own habits. Specialized chapters pay close attention to how habits can be modified, as well as widely varying manifestations of habitual thoughts and behaviors, including the mechanisms of drug addiction and recovery, the repetitive characteristics of autism, and the unwitting habits of health professionals that may impede patient care. And across these pages, contributors show the potential for using the processes of maladaptive habits to replace them with positive and health-promoting ones. Throughout this volume attention is also paid to the practice of conducting habit research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHabit mechanisms and behavioral complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplexities and controversies of physical activity habit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHabit discontinuities as vehicles for behavior change.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHabits in depression: understanding and intervention.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA critical review of habit theory of drug dependence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions about the automaticity of habitual behaviors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of Habit\u003c\/i\u003e will interest psychologists across a wide spectrum of domains: habit researchers in broader areas of social and health psychology, professionals working in (sub)clinical areas, interested scholars in marketing, consumer research, communication, and education, and public policymakers dealing with questions of behavioral change in the areas of health, sustainability, and\/or education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-11-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319975283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-97529-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 418\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46029870399628,"sku":"9783319975283","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319975283.jpg?v=1776028138","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319975283","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
