Document Summary
Transtheoretical model (ttm: developed in 1984 by prochaska & diclemente, originated from analysis of 18 systems of psychotherapy; hence transtheoretical, model of behaviour change ; it is not used to predict behaviour. Self-change in behavior is a process that occurs through five stages, and individuals use a variety of psychological and behavioral processes in making changes: 5 stages of change, 2 mediators of change, 10 processes of change. Mediators of change: decisional balance: pros and cons of the change, do pros outweigh cons for changing the behaviour. Integrated into ttm from sct: decreases from pre-contemplation to contemplation. Strategies that individuals use to move themselves through the stages of change. Environmental reevaluation: examine how our behaviour could impact others. Stimulus or environmental control: remove cues for unheathful behaviours; create cues for healthful behaviours. Social liberation: become aware of environment and use it to help behaviour change: processes should match the stage of change.
