This special issue of marks the conclusion of the journal's 40th volume. George C. Stone founded in 1982 and served as our first Editor-in-Chief. He was also an accomplished behavioral scientist and the founder in 1975 of America's first academic department of health psychology at the University of California at San Francisco. Many of us believe that health psychology is fundamentally an applied science, that the principal value of basic biopsychosocial research resides in its translational potential, and that we have to be a "solution-oriented" branch of science (Watts, 2017) in order to meet critical societal needs. By extension, we believe that health psychology and health psychologists have vital roles to play in the promotion of physical health, the prevention of medical illness, and the care of medically ill patients. Accordingly, we hope that rigorous research on prevention and intervention will comprise a substantially larger percentage of the next 40 volumes of . May George Stone's activism and vision continue to inspire us in our efforts to move from ideas to efficacy and to advance both the field of health psychology and its flagship journal.

本期特刊标志着该杂志第 40 卷的结束。乔治·C·斯通 (George C. Stone) 于 1982 年创立了本刊，并担任第一任主编。他还是一位杰出的行为科学家，也是 1975 年加州大学旧金山分校 (University of California at San Francisco) 美国第一个学术健康心理学系的创始人。我们许多人认为，健康心理学从根本上说是一门应用科学，基础生物心理社会研究的主要价值在于其转化潜力，我们必须成为一门“以解决问题为导向”的科学（Watts，2017），才能满足社会的关键需求。由此推断，我们认为健康心理学和健康心理学家在促进身体健康、预防医学疾病和照顾患病患者方面发挥着至关重要的作用。因此，我们希望预防和干预方面的严格研究将在下一个 40 卷的 中占据更大比例。愿乔治·斯通 (George Stone) 的积极性和远见继续激励我们，使我们从理念走向实效，推动健康心理学领域及其旗舰期刊的发展。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
