trans theoretical model of behavior change Flashcards
Trans theoretical
happens gradually
people cannot move between stages
Pre contemplation Stage
lack awareness that our behavior is a problem
There is no reason to change behavior because it doesn’t seem like a problem
Contemplation stage
you need awareness in order to move to this stage
people think about change but haven’t made a decision to change yet
benefits of change go up
(lacking sefl efficacy to make change, frustration, ambivalence)
Preparation Phase(commitement to change behavior)
making small changes highly motivated
vary in self efficacy
highly motivated
making an overt effort to help people see it
Action
You need to know the how part
you need information to get to this stage
risk of relapse at this point is very high
Maintenance
being reinforced for making changes
Take away
the big thing with his model is people at different stages need different interventions
