We study how health behaviors are shaped through family spillovers. We leverage administrative data to identify the effects of health shocks on family members’ consumption of preventive care and health-related behaviors, constructing counterfactuals for affected households using households that experience the same shock but a few years in the future. Spouses and adult children immediately improve their health behaviors and their responses are both significant and persistent. These spillovers are far-reaching as they cascade even to coworkers. While some responses are consistent with learning information about one’s own health, the evidence points to salience as a major operative explanation. (JEL D15, D83, I12, J12)

High Uncertainty

In this article, the authors attempted to comprehend how the level of psychological well-being and the image of the future in students is transformed in the context of acute social uncertainty associated with the coronavirus epidemic. To answer this problematic question, we turned to the analysis of the need-motivational-semantic sphere of students before the pandemic and after the end of the self-isolation of Russian citizens. The study was carried out in two stages. At the first stage (October 2019), 185 students of Kostroma State University (M = 20,1; SD = 1,3) were interviewed on the subject of how they understand the phenomenon of psychological well-being, after which 45 respondents (M = 19,7; SD = 0,8) were asked for filling in the method «Color metaphors» by I. L. Solomin. At the second stage (January 2021), the study was carried out according to a similar algorithm (N1 = 185; M = 20,4; SD = 0,6; N2 = 45; M = 19,3; SD = 1,1). It is shown that the coronavirus pandemic and the associated self-isolation have become a context that influenced the change in the structure of connections between meaning-forming categories in the need-motivational-semantic sphere of students. The weakening of the tightness of connections between semantic categories in the minds of the respondents serves as an indicator of students' disorientation in psychological time and space, a marker of the emergence of problems in setting goals, defining meaning and seeing oneself. First of all, this is reflected in the idea of the future, oneself in the future, happiness as the category most closely related to well-being. The image of the future has become less concretized and blurred. In the psychological time space, values-goals became less significant, but values-resources became actualized («love», «family», «health», «entertainment» , «communication», «development», «money»), i.e. that helps to feel stability, comfort, increases confidence in the future and helps to distract from the oppressive atmosphere.

Future Direction

Wellness tourism is currently one of the fastest growing tourism niche markets having experienced exponential growth over the past two decades (Global Wellness Institute, 2018). The attributed reasons for the exponential growth is wellness being an essential factor in shaping people’s lives, as well as being increasingly influential in patterns of consumption and production. The wellness industry plays a crucial role as an important driver for future business growth and major innovations (Voigt and Pforr, 2013; Pyke et al., 2016). This chapter defines the relative terms of health, wellness, spa and medical tourism, identifies the current trends in the health and wellness sector, details the various wellness providers and considers the future direction of health and wellness in connection with tourism and destination development. The chapter concludes with a case study discussing the success factors of wellness spa tourism in Thailand.

Abstract There is a general, widely-held belief that optimism is always a good thing. While there is much previous research suggesting that optimists enjoy several health and wellness benefits, there is also a large body of research suggesting that optimism is not always advantageous. Examining how optimism develops and changes across the lifespan may give us insight into how we use optimism and allow us to determine if and when optimism is helpful or maladaptive. In this talk, I will review evidence debating the efficacy of optimism, as well as examine how optimism develops across the lifespan. I also discuss how life events may or may not impact the developmental trajectory of optimism. Lastly, I address currently unanswered questions and emphasize the contextual nature of optimism’s advantages. Ultimately, being persistently optimistic about the future is a nearly universal human trait. But the exact contexts in which this positive thinking is helpful--if ever--is an intriguing question that speaks to how we think about ourselves, how we think about others, and how we think about our many possible futures.

Value Of Education

Child labour was not uncommon in the pre-industrial period, yet with industrialization demand for child labour in workplaces other than family farms and contractual apprenticeships rose. In the context of factories, shops and mines, employers had no legal liability for the health and wellness of the children they employed. Legislation emerged to fill this void as early as the 1880s, yet it was poorly enforced. It would only be with the modernization of industry, the rise of wages for skilled labourers, and increasing public consciousness about the value of education that child labour would decrease across the province in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century.
