Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to analyse an ecological perspective of health attitude in personality on the example of healthy nutrition. The significance of biopsychosocial and ecological approaches for comprehensive understanding of health and health attitude is emphasized. These approaches holistically explain health and health attitude as a result of complex interaction of biological, psychological and social factors at multiple levels and as an integral part of individual’s physical, natural, social and cultural environment. The component structure of health attitude is briefly described in the frames of V. Myasishev’s theory of attitudes. The relationship of health attitude and psychosocial characteristics in personality on the example of healthy nutrition is discussed. The research findings are considered in the course of general idea that the relationships between psychosocial characteristics and healthy nutrition as component of health attitude are complex. It is shown that high indicators of internal health locus of control, self-efficacy, self-regulation, constructive self-assertiveness, psychological well-being correlate to healthy nutrition in adults and teenagers.
