Luecken (psychology, Arizona State University) and Gallo (Center for Behavioral and Community Health Studies, San Diego State University) outline the collection, analysis, and interpretation of physiological measures that are commonly used and broadly relevant to researchers interested in a biopsychosocial model of health and well-being. Coverage encompasses physiological systems and markers of health and disease risk that are pertinent to health psychology and many related disciplines. Written in a jargon free style for readers with little or no previous knowledge of physiological systems or assessment, the book is intended as a primer for those who are new to physiological measurement, including graduate students and researchers studying behavioral medicine assessment, research methods in health psychology, and research methods in health, in departments of psychology, nursing, and public health.
