The Transtheoretical Model, also known as the Stages of Change Model, is a framework for understanding the process of intentional behavior change. It consists of several stages that individuals go through when modifying behavior. Here is the correct matching of stages with their definitions:

  1. Precontemplation: not currently considering a behavior change

    • Explanation: In this stage, individuals are not yet acknowledging that there is a problem behavior that needs to be changed. They may be unaware of the consequences or in denial about the need for change.
  2. Contemplation: aware of a problem, thinking about changing, but no plan

    • Explanation: At this stage, individuals recognize that there is a problem and start to think seriously about solving it. However, they have not yet committed to taking action.
  3. Preparation: assessing and making behavior change goal with intentions of starting

    • Explanation: During the preparation stage, individuals are planning to take action soon and may start taking small steps toward behavior change. They are ready to make a change and have a plan in place.
  4. Action: begin making changes

    • Explanation: In the action stage, individuals actively modify their behavior and their environment to overcome their problems. This stage requires the most time and energy.
  5. Maintenance: at least 6 months into a change

    • Explanation: The maintenance stage involves sustaining the behavior change over time. Individuals work to prevent relapse and consolidate the gains they have made.

This model helps in understanding that behavior change is a process that occurs over time and involves progress through a series of stages.
