Abstract
People’s notions of health, including those of so-called “positive” health, are known to be quite diverse. Studies in Western Europe have shown that conceptions of health differ by socioeconomic status (Herzlich, 1973; Cornwell, 1984; d’Houtaud and Field, 1984; Calnan, 1987; Bunker, Gomby, and Kehrer, 1989; Calnan, 1989; Blaxter, 1990; Calnan, 1990), gender and age (Van der Heuvel, 1989; Blaxter, 1990), and ethnicity (Anderson, Blue, and Lau, 1991).
