Study Notes

  • The first stage of the Transtheoretical Model of Change is precontemplation.
  • Relapse is most likely to occur in the Maintenance stage.
  • Implementation is not a stage in the Transtheoretical Model.
  • Relapse is not a failure in the Transtheoretical Model.
  • The maintenance stage focuses on sustaining new behavior and avoiding relapse.
  • Someone sober for eight months is likely in the maintenance stage.
  • The goal of the preparation stage is to make small steps and commit.
  • Motivational interviewing and awareness is the best intervention for the precontemplation stage.
  • The Transtheoretical Model emphasizes stages of intentional behavior change.
  • Returning to an earlier stage of change is described as relapse.
  • "I know I need to change, but I'm not sure I can" best represents someone in the contemplation stage.

Precontemplation Stage

  • The defining characteristic is that the individual has no intention of changing behavior and may be unaware of the problem.
  • A person in the precontemplation stage is most likely to say, "I don't think I need to change."

Contemplation Stage

  • An individual is ambivalent about change but is considering it within the next six months.

Preparation Stage

  • A key indicator is when someone has started taking small steps and intends to act within 30 days.
  • Someone planning to start a diet next week is likely in the preparation stage.

Action Stage

  • This involves actively modifying one’s behavior.
  • Someone in the Action stage might say, "I've started making significant changes to my behavior."

Maintenance Stage

  • The individual has been working on maintaining their new behavior for at least six months and is focused on preventing relapse.

Relapse

  • Serves as an expected part of the behavior change process and provides an opportunity to learn and restart progress toward change.

Transtheoretical Model Stages Sequence

  • The correct sequence of stages is: Precontemplation -> Contemplation -> Preparation -> Action -> Maintenance.
