contemporary topics in health psychology: psychological theory, research and skills
relevant to the promotion and maintenance of optimal health and the prevention and
treatment of illness and physical injury. The first half of the course will cover
theoretical frameworks for understanding health behaviour, motivation, and psycho-social

on the role of health psychology and exercise wellness behaviour, and on professional
issues and ethical practices for physical and health education students. UNI471H This course draws upon communications theory, political
