Biobehavioral factors in XXXX .

@entity5 @entity1 @entity158
Despite the presence of pathology in @entity5 , the @entity158 experience in adult @entity5 @entity1 cannot be totally explained by the extent of such pathology. Unlike chronic @entity158 very little research on the role of biobehavioral factors has been conducted to help explain this paradox. The literature on the role of biobehavioral factors in the @entity5 experience is reviewed. A brief review of epidemiology and pathophysiology is presented. Following this, the biobehavioral literature was organized according to research on psychological characteristics and environmental factors. Research addressing affective, cognitive, behavioral and physiological reactions to @entity158 was also discussed. Despite the paucity of studies, the review suggested the following: (1) personality factors do not appear to play a consistent role in the modulation of @entity158 in @entity5 @entity1 ; (2) the work on environmental influences on @entity5 indicate a weak association between such factors as social network and @entity158 intensity; (3) studies on affective state indicate minimal relationships to @entity158 , and lastly, (4) studies on cognitive responses to @entity158 in @entity5 @entity1 and their influence on the @entity158 experience have not been conducted. To date, in the areas where biobehavioral factors have been investigated, the findings appear modest. However, many potential variables, e.g., self-esteem, the role of family, the role of models, past or current work environments, social learning factors and responses to @entity158 such as fear, somatization and reattribution have not been explored with @entity5 @entity1 . While the influence of biobehavioral factors in adult @entity5 appear to be relatively modest, the literature is not extensive. Increased efforts at more precisely determining the input of such factors in @entity5 are warranted, particularly given the role of such variables in other recurrent and chronic @entity158 states.
