This book is organised in three parts: personality and health outcomes; mechanisms relating personality and health; personality specific prevention and intervention. It covers child and adolescence health behaviour as well as that of adults and integrates new developments within personality psychology (such as neurophysiology and temperamental traits) with health psychology and examines major health outcomes such as disease, the mechanisms between these outcomes and personality, and prevention and intervention programmes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAbout the Editor.  \u003cp\u003eList of Contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Who Becomes Sick and Who Stays Healthy, How and Why, and What Can be Done About It (\u003ci\u003eMargarete E.
