Question 1

Transtheoretical Model

Answer 1

Covers: behaviour change or stopping a behaviour
-was first used to stop smoking weed

Question 2

Assumptions about transtheoretical Models

Answer 2

-no single theory can explain behaviours
-change takes time (stages)
-takes time because must move through stages

Question 3

Stages of Transtheoretical Model

Answer 3

1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance

Question 4

Precontemplation phase of Transtheoretical model

Answer 4

-not ready to take action within 6 months
-uninformed, demoralized
-not even considering it

Question 5

Contemplation phase of Transtheoretical Model

Answer 5

-intending to change within the next 6 months

Question 6

Preparation phase of Transtheoretical Model

Answer 6

-intend to change within next 30 days
-buying gym clothes, memberships, making a workout program, etc

Question 7

Action phase of Transtheoretical Models

Answer 7

Changed behaviour for less than 6 months
-just got into it

Question 8

Maintenance stage of Transtheoretical Model

Answer 8

Self Efficacy

Answer 10

A form of confidence: are you confident you can do something?

Question 11

-1 pro outweighs 5 cons, or 1 con that ways 5 pros
-not based on these being added up

Question 13

Processes of Change: (2)

When you change your environment to affect your PA
-prep gym clothes the night before, have them laid out to help you succeed with the journey

Question 16

Research and TTM relation

Answer 16

There was inconsistent evidence found with TTM -PA interventions
-best evidence was found in pre and contemplation stages

-matched vs non-matched interventions to promote PA did not differ
Matched/ unmatched= (knowing what stage they were in or didn’t know what stage they were in)
-differences between male and female adolescent

Question 18

Application of Transtheoretical Model

Answer 18

-guidelines at each stage make it more appealing because they feel as though they have a better chance if they use the stages
