Study Notes

The biopsychosocial model of health has dominated research and theory in health psychology.
The model integrates existing conceptualizations of the biopsychosocial model with other systems models, especially those proposed by Urie Bronfenbrenner, Arnold Sameroff, and Evan Thompson.
The major goals of this paper are to (a) explain the interactive elements of the dynamic biopsychosocial model and (b) use Bronfenbrenner's work to elaborate interpersonal dynamics in social environments and introduce centrality as a factor that modulates influences on health.
The model shown in Figure 1 and discussed below is an expanded version of the biopsychosocial model.
The model conceptualizes biological, psychological, interpersonal, and contextual effects on health as dynamics.
Each dynamic captures a set of interactive forces or systems that affect health.
Biological dynamics include the physical elements of the body that affect and determine health.
Psychological dynamics include cognitive, emotional, motivational, attitudinal, and behavioral systems that affect health.
The psychological dynamic can be seen in research on the placebo effect, in which inert interventions such as sham surgeries or sugar pill consumption cause shifts in biology.
Psychological dynamics are reciprocally influenced by biological dynamics, and both systems affect health.
The biopsychosocial model is a model of understanding the relationship between physical and mental health.
The model includes psychological factors, such as emotions, addiction, stress appraisal, and health behavior.
The model is often organized into systems, including the self and interpersonal dynamics.
Interpersonal dynamics include the effects of actual or perceived social contacts on health.
Bronfenbrenner's ecological framework can help to clarify the varied interactive interpersonal dynamics that affect health.
The biopsychosocial model of health considers the social, psychological, and biological factors that interact with one another to affect an individual's health.
Microsystem factors include the interactions among family members, social groups, and health-care providers.
The mesosystem captures the interactions between microsystem entities that occur indirectly.
Contextual dynamics include broad patterns of shared culture, norms, policies, and values.
