4TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM 2009 – VARANASI – BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY

Fourth International Symposium on Cognition, Stress and Mental Health – Banaras Hindu University – Varanasi

Introduction: The burgeoning prevalence of mental and physical health problems in the present era of globalization and rapid technological development has posed enormous threat to our sustenance. It is a challenge for not only health professionals but also for psychologists as a growing body of research evidence indicate that stress and concomitant psychosocial factors such as health compromising life-style, lack of social support, pathogenic emotion regulation strategies etc are the chief contributors to the development of physical and mental health problems.

Recent advance in the field of health psychology suggest that the cognition occupies a hyphenated position between stress and health problems. To this end bulk of empirical studies have shown that the pathogenic cognitive evaluation strategies and cognitive schema lie underneath the onset of stress and various types of health related issues. Thus, the study of cognition in relation to stress and health is likely to help in developing insight into their underlying complex interactive mechanisms.
