Prof. Dr. Zuhal Baltas attended the delegation meeting of the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS), of which she was the Turkish delegate, held in Padua, Italy, on September 1, 2017. At the meeting, where the 2017 report on the state of health psychology activities in our country was shared, the community’s publications, e-learning platforms, and blog studies were evaluated and a case example regarding health psychology practices was included. At the meeting, methods of improving one’s own health and ways to acquire behaviors that are good and healing for others were discussed. After these discussions; It has been revealed that Behavior Change techniques (BCT) maintain their dominance in health psychology intervention studies and that academics working on this subject are looking for techniques that will change the mindset. The conclusion that stood out from the others in the meeting was that “stories devoid of mathematics distract people.”
