Risk of bias was assessed using bespoke ABM quality criteria. Across 30 eligible studies, 15 tested interventions with some testing multiple interventions: pricing policies (7 studies) effectively reduced unhealthy consumption but exacerbated inequities; environmental modifications (6 studies) showed context-dependent success; social norm campaigns (4 studies) had mixed results. Fifteen non-intervention studies revealed key behavioural drivers like social networks and early food exposure. Three notable limitations were identified: 1) relatively few (11/30) studies explicitly applied behavioural/social theories; 2) important methodological weaknesses; 3) none of the included studies engaged stakeholder viewpoints to ensure that the tested interventions were feasible or acceptable and that the ABM modelled the lived experiences of the target population. Future research should address these issues to ensure that the promise of ABM in understanding dietary choices is more fully realised.","PeriodicalId":48034,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149116810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participatory systems modelling interviews with 26 adults elicited participant-specific accounts of everyday PA. Abductive synthesis and ontological mapping linked participant-derived concepts with behavioural constructs. Expert consensus and framework comparison integrated configurational condition-set logic, person- and context-specific activation regions, state-dependent value integration, and multi-timescale adaptive feedback.Result: Participants described PA as emerging when situational and personal features aligned, creating 'moments to act' and altering the probability of transitions among PA-related states. These narratives informed the prototheory in which state-dependent valuation and adaptive feedback shape PA across timescales.Conclusion: The Integrative Model of PA conceptualises engagement and sustainment as nonlinear, adaptive valuation processes shaped by configurational patterns and multi-timescale feedback. Integrating lived experience with prior theory increases representational precision while preserving idiographic specificity. It generates testable hypotheses and supports adaptive, person-centered interventions and cumulative theory development in PA.","PeriodicalId":48034,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"1-31"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149082557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The domains most identified as barriers to PA promotion were 'social influences' and 'skills', whilst the domains most identified as facilitators to PA promotion were 'beliefs about consequences' and 'beliefs about capabilities'. Given that PA promotion in psychotherapy is an effective intervention, but psychologists lack formal training in this area, tailored training may benefit psychologists' capabilities and clinical practice to promote PA safely and effectively.","PeriodicalId":48034,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148898123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary analyses found that the majority of participants failed to achieve their goals at each timepoint (range = 57.9%-77.0%), and that rates of achievement declined over time. Sensitivity analyses supported these findings, with the exception that achievement rates during interventions were significantly higher (p < .01) in studies with some concerns and high risk of bias. In studies with low risk of bias, achievement was higher among individuals with cardiac health issues and Type 2 diabetes, and lower when goals were prescribed (rather than self-set or collaboratively-set). These findings highlight the need for programmes to incorporate strategies for maximising achievement and minimising failure to support adoption and maintenance of physical activity.","PeriodicalId":48034,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148889076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although women report more frequent and disabling pains than men, their pains are more often underassessed and undertreated in clinical encounters. Understanding the 'whens' and 'whys' of this gender paradox is vital to promote pain care equity and efficiency. Yet, the atheoretical and descriptive nature of most studies on provider gender biases in pain care is stalling the research field. To overcome this gap, we first propose the novel Gender Biases in Pain Care Model, which conceptualises the contextual nature of gender biases in pain care. It is an interaction-based socioecological model that integrates assumptions of gender-related theories and dual process models of person perception and stereotyping. Second, we conduct a theory-driven review of current evidence addressing the model's theoretical contentions. Sixty-six articles (8 reviews and 58 primary studies), mostly published in 2010-2024, were included. Although findings provide preliminary support for the model's four contentions, important empirical gaps are still unaddressed. We discuss how this model is a steppingstone to the generation of novel research questions and testable hypotheses that may fill current knowledge gaps and contribute to the development of equitable pain practices and policies.","PeriodicalId":48034,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"637-664"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147515924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framing obscures the dynamic, hierarchical, and personally meaningful nature of regulation. In this paper, we introduce a unifying framework grounded in Perceptual Control Theory, proposing that the psychophysiology of stress is best understood as the control of perception rather than behaviour. Stress arises from a mismatch between current perceptions and internally held reference values - the desired states individuals strive to maintain. Within a hierarchical control system, these values are dynamically modified through experience. We argue that goal conflict - where simultaneous reference values cannot be satisfied, leading to persistent error - is the primary source of acute and chronic stress. Reorganisation, an adaptive process of structural change within the hierarchy, serves as the mechanism for resolving such conflict by revising reference values or creating new control systems. This perspective explains individual differences by focusing on controlled perceptions rather than standardised coping strategies. By formalising stress regulation as perceptual control, this approach bridges biological, psychological, and social dimensions. It offers a foundation for personalised interventions that target what individuals value most, rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions.","PeriodicalId":48034,"journal":{"name":"Health Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"530-554"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146020266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
