TTM assumes that behavior change is a process that unfolds over time through a sequence of stages, and that these stages are stable and open to change, just as health behavior risks are stable and open to change. There are four key constructs of TTM, 1) five stages of change, 2) 10 processes of change, 3) decisional balance, and 4) self-efficacy.  \nCentral to TTM are the stages of change: 1) precontemplation, 2) contemplation, 3) preparation, 4) action, and 5) maintenance. According to TTM, behavior change is a process that happens over time and often occurs in a non-linear fashion. Movement through these stages is complicated and requires cognitive and behavioral activities, decision making, and self-efficacy.  \nThe processes of change include 10 cognitive and behavior activities that work to facilitate behavior change (detailed below) . Certain processes are linked to specific stages of change. As such, the relationships between the stages of change and the processes of change have several implications for targeting intervention and treatment approaches because these relationships can provide insight as to when and how to direct behavior change.  \nDeveloper  \nJames Prochaska & Carlo DiClemente, 1982  \nGraphical Representation of Theory and Constructs  \n(Adapted from Prochaska, Redding, & Evers, 2015)  \nStages of Change  \n• Precontemplation – The individual may be unaware or lack knowledge of the consequences of their behavior. No intention to act within the next 6 months.  \n• Contemplation – The individual is aware of the problem and recognizes the benefits of behavior change. While they have examined the pros and cons of change, they tend to place more emphasis on the cons. Intends to act within the next 6 months.  \n• Preparation – The individual has a plan of action. Intends to act within the next 30 days and has taken some behavioral steps.  \n• Action – The individual has made modifications to their behavior. Changed behavior for less than 6 months.  \n• Maintenance – The individual has made the behavior change and has the confidence to continue their behavior. Changed behavior for more than 6 months.  \nProcesses of Change – Cognitive and behavioral activities that facilitate progress through stages.  \n• Consciousness Raising – Increasing awareness about the causes, consequences, and cures for a problem behavior.  \n• Environmental Reevaluation – Cognitive and affective assessment of how the presence or absence of a behavior affects one's social environment.  \n• Dramatic Relief – Increasing negative or positive emotions to motivate taking appropriate action.  \n• Social Liberation – Increase in healthy social opportunities or alternatives.  \n• Self-Reevaluation – Cognitive and affective assessment of one's self-image, with or without an unhealthy behavior.  \n• Self-Liberation – Belief that one can change and the continued commitment to act on that belief.  \n• Helping Relationships – Caring, trust, openness, and acceptance as well as support from others for healthy behavior change.  \n• Counterconditioning – Learning healthier behaviors that can substitute for problem behaviors.  \n• Stimulus Control – Removing cues for unhealthy habits and adding prompts for healthy alternatives.  \n• Reinforcement Management – Rewarding oneself or being rewarded by others for making progress.  \nDecisional Balance – Evaluation of the pros and cons of changing behavior. As individuals move forward through the stages, the cons of behavior change decrease while the pros of behavior change increase, therefore helping to facilitate and maintain behavior change.  \nSelf-efficacy – Confidence that one can engage in the behavior. As individuals move forward through the stages, the temptation to revert to previous risk behaviors decreases while self-efficacy to maintain the new ","cbCaivpiWBwmvzEL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivpiWBwmvzEL","pdf",417561,"English","# Transtheoretical Model and key constructs\n## Five stages of change\n## Processes of change\n## Decisional balance and self-efficacy\n## Application to precision paradigm and mechanisms of action taxonomy\n## Examples and theory citations","[{\"question\":\"What are the five stages of change in the Transtheoretical Model?\",\"answer\":\"The model defines precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
