We present a qualitative study on lay significations regarding health and disease processes, endorsed by 67 adults. The results show that these adults have different socio-cognitive developmental competences related to health and disease processes. For each dimension of significations of health and disease, it is possible to sequence lay person's conceptions developmentally. Each level is distinct qualitatively, including responses characterized by a higher degree of differentiation, integration and complexity than the previous level. Finally, the implications of this approach to clinical and educational methods are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0102-37722010000300012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,20]],"date-time":"2010-12-20T06:06:27Z","timestamp":1292825187000},"page":"493-504","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Developmental levels in adult's conceptions of health and disease"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Joaquim C.","family":"Reis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Coimbra"}]},{"given":"Fernando S.","family":"Fradique","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"year":"1992","author":"Barros L.","series-title":"Interven\u00e7\u00e3o desenvolvimentista com pais de beb\u00e9s em risco","key":"ref1"},{"year":"1984","author":"Basseches M.","series-title":"Dialectical thinking and adult development","key":"ref2"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Health psychology","first-page":"285","volume-title":"Developmental stages in children's conceptions of illness","author":"Bibace R.","year":"1979"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Health psychology: A lifespan perspective","first-page":"13","volume-title":"Children's perceptions of illness","author":"Bibace R.","year":"1994"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Body and mind","first-page":"177","volume-title":"Genetic metaphysics: The developmental psychology of mind-body concepts","author":"Broughton J.","year":"1980"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1037\/0278-6133.5.3.307","article-title":"Children's concepts of physical illness: A review and critique of the cognitivedevelopmental literature","volume":"5","author":"Burbach D.
