Importance of Control for Psychological Health

Professor Timothy Carey emphasizes the significance of having a sense of control for our psychological well-being. He applies his research on control in addressing health inequality in Rwanda. Control is viewed as an organizing principle for the social determinants of health, as it influences factors like housing, education, and employment. For instance, providing secure housing can enhance people's feelings of control and improve their quality of life.
