What are the 5 Stages of Change and their determinants? | 1) Precontemplation (not planning w/in next 6 mo.) 2) Contemplation (may start w/in next 6 mo.) 3) Preparation (starting soon, typically w/in 1 mo.) 4) Action (has an exercise routine w/in last 6 mo.) 5) Maintenance (exercising 6+ mo) |
What is the inapplicable 6th stage of the original Transtheoretcal Model and why does it not apply to exercise? | The Termination phase; essentially when someone no longer has the desire to continue a bad habit without risk of relapse (see: quitting smoking) |
What is the Stages of Change model also known as? | The Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change |
Processes of change provide strategies on how to apply BCTs. How would a client's processes change through the early to the later stages of change? | In early stages, clients may apply cognitive processes to progress through stages. In later stages, they rely more on behavioral processes for progressing toward maintenance. |
What is the difference between a compliment and an affirmation? | Compliments use “I” statements (“I think you are...”) and put attention onto the fitness professional. Affirmations (“You paid very close attention...”) acknowledge the client’s strengths and efforts and enhance a client’s self-efficacy. |
