Editorial: Behaviors, bias, and decision-making in health

The nexus of mental health, cognitive functions, and health-related behavior presents a rich field for applied psychological research, shedding light on how psychological, emotional, and social factors influence health decisions, be they social, clinical, or related to individual strategies. The research call, Behaviors, bias, and decision-making in health, was intentionally created to make a meaningful contribution in this applied domain. Thirteen interdisciplinary contributions explore the cognitive and emotional factors, mechanisms, and potential interventions that shape behavior in health contexts.
