2-Contemplation
3-Preparation/determination
4-Action
5-Maintenance
6-Termination
What is the precontemplation stage of the Transtheoretical Model?
Individual is not yet considering making a behavior change
An individual is not yet considering making a behavior change, what stage of the Transtheoretical Model is this?
Precontemplation
What is Contemplation stage of the Transtheoretical Model?
Individual is aware that a change might be desired or necessary but is still ambivalent about taking action. Starts to weigh pros and cons and asks self whether change is possible.
What is the Preparation or Determination stage of the Transtheoretical Model?
Individual has decided to make a change and is now in the planning phase. They may be experimenting with small changes.
What is the Action stage of the Transtheoretical Model?
Individual is actively putting a plan into place and is trying to make lasting behavior change a reality.
What is the Maintenance stage of the Transtheoretical Model?
Individual has successfully made the change. Now they are working to sustain new behavior and avoid temptation to return to old patterns or behaviors.
What is the Termination stage of the Transtheoretical Model?
New behavior has become a norm or a habit. Individual is never tempted to return to old behavior or patterns.
What stage of the Transtheoretical Model is it when an Individual is aware that a change might be desired or necessary but is still ambivalent about taking action. Starts to weigh pros and cons and asks self whether change is possible.

- Change is dependent on an individuals commitment to change and a willingness to make decisions accordingly.
- Difference behavioral theories and intervention constructs are best used at different stages of change.

Yes, They can move back and fort many times during the behavior change process.
Is there a normal or optimal timeline for behavioral change.
No, every clients walks their own path. It’s not linear.
In the precontemplation stage of TTM, clients fall into what two categories?
