Both of our course textbooks speak of additional multi-level theories (in addition to those which we have already discussed) and Behavioral Epigenetics (Nature vs Nuture) in relation to health behavior. In our video tonight we added in the topic of Stress and how stress can affect Health Behaviors.

This assignment will focus on stress and its relation to Health Behaviors.  In lecture we spoke of Bio-Ecological System Levels, the Bio-Ecological Model, Nature vs Nuture and Epigenetics.

While watching this video, please take notes on your beliefs on stress and its relationship to Bio-Ecological System Levels, the Bio-Ecological Model, Nature vs Nuture and Epigenetics
