Stages of Change/The Transtheoretical Model
What is the Dietary Staging Algorithms?
-3 factors used for staging 1)self-rated diet 2)previous attempts to change diet 3)intention to change diet -if algorithms are valid, predictable differences in dietary behavior should exist between stages
What is the process of change?
-covert and overt activities used to progress through the stages -activity that helps to modify thinking, feeling, or behavior -nine processes that have the most empirical support
What are the applications of maintenance?
-develop strategies for "roadblocks" -revisit above strategies for relapse -encourage more difficult changes is still motivated
Stages of change emerged from what? Where did it originate? What did it identify?
-emerged from comparative analysis of leading psychotherapy and behavior change -originated from research among people who had/had not quit smoking -identified processes of change used at different times
What are the applications of contemplation?
-provide personalized information -explore emotions about change
What are the applications of action?
-provide self-help material
What are the applications of pre-contemplation?
-resolve barriers -encourage support networks -give positive feedback -clarify ambivalence about change
What are the stages of dietary change?
-self-rated perceptions of diet -substantial discrepancy frequently exists between perceived and actual dietary intake -best to avoid nutrient intake criteria for staging
What are the applications of preparation?
-set goals -reinforce small changes already made
What is the transtheoretical model of stages and change? When was it developed and by whom?
-uses stages of change to integrate processes and principles of change from across major theories of intervention -developed by Prochaska and colleagues in late 1970's

What are the stages of change?
1) pre-contemplation 2) contemplation 3) preparation 4) action 5) maintenance 6) relapse/recycle or termination
How many stages does the TTM have? How are they ordered?
6, temporally
