Group processes and physiological health in group-based interventions: A systematic review

= -0.19), where lower scores reflected healthier response profiles (e.g. lower blood pressure). This review provides novel insights into how social identity processes operate in group-based interventions and their potential for shaping physiological health. We highlight the importance of designing interventions that actively foster supportive and cohesive group environments.

Abstract

= -0.19), where lower scores reflected healthier response profiles (e.g. lower blood pressure). This review provides novel insights into how social identity processes operate in group-based interventions and their potential for shaping physiological health. We highlight the importance of designing interventions that actively foster supportive and cohesive group environments.
