“…A host of studies have investigated the role of planning in enhancing the likelihood of enacting behaviours, including breast and testicular self-examination (Orbell, Hodgkins & Sheeran, 1997;Prestwich et al, 2005;Benyamini, Ashery, & Shiloh, 2011;Heverin & Byrne, 2011), health screening (Neter, Stein, Barnett-Griness, Rennert, & Hagoel, 2014;Rutter, Steadman, Quine, & Field, 2006;, medication and supplement adherence (Sheeran & Orbell, 1999;Liu & Park, 2004;Jackson et al, 2006 Carraro & Gaudreau, 2013; Milne, Orbell & Sheeran, 2002). However, few studies to date have investigated their use in clinical samples or employed planning to teach patients how to prepare for and respond to unpleasant medical procedures.…”

Research on the Commonsense Self-Regulation Model has emphasised reflective/conscious perceptual processes regarding illness threat (beliefs about symptoms, consequences, timeline, and curability) in predicting and changing coping behaviours. Understanding of illness self-regulation and avenues for intervention might be enriched by consideration of automatic processes that influence the recognition and identification of illness, response to illness, and ongoing management. This article adopts an integrative approach to (1) outline the theoretical importance of implicit processes in patients' self-regulation of illness and methods to study them; (2) review research evidence for these processes, including interventions tested to modify them; and (3) outline avenues for future research. A substantial body of research on implicit processes (cognitive bias and interpretational bias) in illness maintenance in chronic illness has recently been extended to detection and interpretation of acute illness and new perspectives relating to the self-system. There is encouraging evidence that cognitive accessibility of coping and implicit attitudes may impact upon coping behaviours. Procedures that strategically automatise coping responses and create habits have considerable promise. We outline an agenda for future research in which health psychology accepts the challenge posed by the interplay of the reflective and associative systems in promoting effective self-regulation of illness.
