Question

Answer 1

contemplation stage

Step-by-step explanation:

The transtheoretical model of behavior change which was first developed by Prochaska and DiClemente is a model of therapy used to analyze the various processes people undergo in changing a behavior or adopting a new healthy behavior. This model also provides various techniques and interventions in helping an individual through the various stages in successfully making a healthy change. It involves 5 main stages which include the precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance stage.

The stage at which people are aware of their problems and are willing to make a change, but are yet to take a decisive step and be committed to make the change is the 2nd stage known as the contemplation stage. At this stage, the individual has the intention of changing and are only still thinking about making a change.
