Transtheoretical Model of Change

A

psych model of how people go about changing their behavior

23
Q

A

Originated in psychology while working on addictive and problem behaviors in 1997 by Professor James Prochaska who identified 10 processes of change that predicted successful behavior

The model is applied and validated

24
Q

  6. Termination
26
Q

ex: You are unaware bologna is bad for you but you said you do not need to stop eating it

27
Q

Interventions/Processes that aid in moving from Precontemplation to Contemplation?

A
  1. Consciousness Raising
  2. Dramatic Relief
  3. Environmental Re-Evaluation
28
Q

Consciousness Raising

implement strategies to get the person to return to contemplation, preparation, or action stages

ENCOURAGE THEM
