The study goals were: firstly, to determine the role of non-specific cognitive components (e.g. health locus of control) and health behaviors in successive stages of the smoking cessation process; and secondly, to establish the pattern of health behaviors important for the process outcome. A two group quasi-experimental design with a baseline measurement and repeated follow-ups was used. In the experimental group a 3-month smoking cessation program was implemented. Results indicate that the reaching of the action stage was determined by characteristics of nicotine dependence, while the maintenance stage – by health-related beliefs and by objective health indices. In the maintenance stage a significant behavior change was noted in two areas: of diet and medical check-ups.

The author reviews the theory of socio-economic inequality in health and concludes that the use of cultural values to explain the ubiquitous association between the socio-economic standing (SES) of individuals and their health is becoming increasingly prominent. Inspired by this, the author examines whether and to what extent several aspects of lay knowledge about and attitudes towards health can explain the social gradient in subjective health in Central and Eastern Europe. The author uses data from the second round of the European Social Survey and limits the analysis to data from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The data show that while there is a strong relationship between education and subjective health and also a relationship between education and various measures of lay knowledge about health, beliefs about health are only very weakly related to subjective health and thus fail to account for its dependence on SES. The author concludes that this may be the result of reciprocal causation between lay knowledge and subjective health. More enhanced research designs would be required in order to gain a better empirical evaluation of the causal relationships between SES, lay knowledge, and health.

The main aim of the presented study was to find the factors determining life satisfaction in later life. Life satisfaction was defined as subjective well-being with its components: subjective health, self-reliance and symptoms of depression. Social support and objective health status have been measured. Age, education and social situation have been also taken into account.The study was carried out on the group of 318 adults aged 65 or more (186 women and 132 men).The results suggest that there is only weak correlation between life satisfaction and objective health measures, and strong one between life satisfaction and subjective health. There is also weak correlation between these two variables. The findings concerning impact of social support on the life satisfaction are uninformative and need further investigations.According to our findings, there is a greatest positive impact of the education level on the life satisfaction of older adults.The age does not decrease life satisfaction level, although it increases level of health problems.

The main aim of the longitudinal study was to investigate the effect of both the cognitive sphere (i.e. self-appraisal of health) and affective state (i.e. anxiety and hope) on meaning in life as perceived by chronically ill patients. The rationale of the study was the theory of meaningfulness of suffering by V. E. Frankl. Participants were 181 patients with either arterial hypertension or neoplasms with bad prognosis, examined thrice: up to 10 days since the diagnosis (stage I), about 5 weeks from the diagnosis (stage II) and at a follow-up about 5 months since stage II (stage III). Multiple regression analysis revealed a statistically significant effect of both the cognitive and affective sphere on the patients' spirituality, irrespective of the type of illness and stage of the study.
