Health psychology is the investigation of psychological and behavioral processes in health, illness, and healthcare. It brings together biological, psychological, and social components to investigate the behavior of healthy or ill people and the decision-making processes that may influence the delivery of healthcare services. Several issues and factors are still understudied in health psychology. Psychological effects of the Covid-19 outbreaks, caregiving experiences, work-related stress and life-work balance, quality of life of sexual minorities, young generations' orientations and motivation for health, or impacts of the new media on people's mental health are just a few examples of phenomena that remain partially explained. A critical issue in health psychology is measurement. Researchers may indeed use measures to elucidate processes to advance theory and evidence, to gain a greater understanding of the observed phenomena, or to assess the effects of interventions delivered to improve health and healthcare outcomes.
