Module E - How can psychology affect
my health?
 Welcome
to the last learning module this semester! As you near the end of your
whirlwind of a semester you will finish up your journey by exploring the
interaction between the mind and the body. As you know the study of
the mind and body dates back to the early philosophers and continues today
in the field of health psychology. In this lesson you will further
delve into the mind-body connection as you explore consciousness, sleep,
stress, and mental illness as they relate to physical and emotional health.
I hope that you enjoy this learning module - it is full of interesting and
helpful information for everybody!
Lesson 1 - The effects of stress and value of
sleep.
This week students will learn about stress. This
lesson is also very straightforward; students should use the
Module E Lesson 1 objectives and will be able to find the
information clearly explained and presented in Chapter 13.
Do all cultures respond to stress the same? Do all
people experience stress the same? What effect does
stress have on my health? These are the types of
questions that will be answered by the end of this lesson.
