The Transtheoretical Model is also called
Stages of Change Model
The Transtheoretical Model is developed by ____ in year ______
Prochaska and DiClemente in the late 1970s,
evolved through studies examining the experiences of smokers who quit on their own with those requiring further treatment to understand why some people were capable of quitting on their own. It was determined that people quit smoking if they were ready to do so
Transtheoretical Model
(Stages of Change)
This is popular among practitioners than researchers as its constructs and concepts are not particularly well defined. This is not clear on how individuals change or why some change more effectively or quickly than others.

Transtheoretical Model
(Stages of Change)
It is not a theory but amodel;different behavioral theories and constructscanbeapplied to various stages of the model wheretheymaybe most effective.

Action
Maintenance
Termination
Transtheoretical Model | In this stage, people do not intend to take action in the foreseeable future (defined as within thenext 6months).
Precontemplation
Transtheoretical Model | People are often unawarethattheirbehavior is problematicor producesnegative consequences.
Peopleinthisstage often underestimatetheprosofchanging behavior andplacetoomuchemphasis on the consof changingbehavior.
Precontemplation
Transtheoretical Model | In this stage, people are intendingtostartthe healthy behavior in theforeseeablefuture (defined as within thenext 6months).
Contemplation
Transtheoretical Model | People recognize that their behavior maybeproblematic, and a more thoughtful andpractical consideration of theprosandconsof changing the behavior takesplace, withequal emphasis placed on both. Evenwiththis recognition, people maystill feelambivalent toward changingtheir behavior.
Contemplation
Transtheoretical Model | In this stage, people arereadytotakeaction within the next 30days.
Preparation
(Determination)
Transtheoretical Model | Peoplestart to take small stepstowardthebehavior change, andtheybelievechanging their behavior canleadtoahealthier life.
Preparation
(Determination)
Transtheoretical Model | In this stage, people have recentlychangedtheir behavior (defined as withinthelast6months) and intend to keepmovingforwardwith that behavior change
Action
Transtheoretical Model | Peoplemayexhibit this by modifying their problembehavior or acquiring newhealthybehaviors.
Action
Transtheoretical Model | In this stage, people have sustained their behavior change for a while (defined as more than 6 months) and intend to maintain the behavior change going forward
Maintenance
Transtheoretical Model | People in thisstageworktoprevent relapse to earlier stages.
Maintenance
Transtheoretical Model | In this stage, people have no desire to return to their unhealthy behaviors and are sure they will not relapse.
Termination
Transtheoretical Model | Sincethisisrarelyreached, and people tend to stay in the maintenance stage, this stage is often not considered in health promotion programs.

- Substituting
healthy behaviors and thoughts for
unhealthy behaviors and thoughts
Counter-Conditioning
Re-engineering the
environment to have reminders and cues
that support and encourage the healthy
behavior and remove those that encourage
the unhealthy behavior
Stimulus Control
Limitations of the Transtheoretical Model (4)
◎ The theory ignores the social context inwhichchangeoccurs, such as SES and income.
◎ The lines between the stages can be arbitrarywithnoset criteria of how to determine a person’sstageofchange. The questionnaires that have beendevelopedto assign a person to a stage of changearenotalwaysstandardized or validated.
◎ There is no clear sense for howmuchtimeisneededfor each stage, or how long a personcanremaininastage.
◎ The model assumes that individuals makecoherentand logical plans in their decision-makingprocesswhen this is not always true.
As a result, thisisbestknown for its effectiveness in reducing alcohol consumptionandalcohol-related injury in college students
Social Norms Theory
The approachhasalsobeen used to address a wide range of public healthtopicsincluding tobacco use, driving under the influenceprevention,seat belt use, and more recently sexual assault prevention. Thetarget population for social norms approaches tendstobecollege students, but has recently been usedwithyoungerstudent populations (i.e., high school).
Social Norms Theory
Social Norms Theory was first used by
Perkins and Berkowitz in 1986
SOcial norms is meant to address
the pattern of alcohol use of student
Peer influences are affected more byperceivednorms (what we view as typical or standardinagroup)rather than on the actual norm(the real beliefsandactions of the group). The gap betweenperceivedandactual is a misperception, andthis formsthefoundation for the social norms approach

Phases of Social Norms Media Campaign (6)
1.) Assessment or collection of data to informthe message
2.)Selection of the normative message that will be
distributed
3.) Testing the message with the target group to ensure it is well-received
4.) Selection of the mode in which the message will be delivered
5.) Amount, or dosage, of the message that will be
delivered
6.) Evaluation of the effectiveness of the message
