How does the biopsychosocial model differ from the biomedical model?

• The biopsychosocial model includes psychological and social factors, unlike the biomedical model which focuses only on biological aspects.

• The biomedical model considers psychological factors while the biopsychosocial model does not.

• The biopsychosocial model is solely focused on genetic predispositions.

Why is it important to consider multiple factors in health care?

• It guarantees accurate predictions of health outcomes.

• It exclusively focuses on biological factors.

In what ways can psychological interventions impact biological health?

• Psychological interventions have no effect on physical health.

• Psychological interventions can improve immune function, promote healthier behaviors, and enhance coping mechanisms, positively impacting biological health.

• Psychological interventions can lead to increased stress levels.

• Psychological interventions can worsen immune function.

How does your personal experience align with the biopsychosocial model?

• My health is solely determined by my genetics.
