What is this also know as? |
Stages of Change |
|
|
What does the TTM describe? |
6 stage model describing the stages of behaviour change. |
|
|
What are the 6 stages of the TTM? |
1. Pre-contemplation 2. Contemplation 3. Preparation 4. Action 5. Maintenance 6. Relapse or termination |
|
|
What does pre-contemplation involve? |
Not considering change. Not exercising at all. |
|
|
What does contemplation involve? |
Thinking about change, but ambivalent. Not active but would consider it in the next few months. |
|
|
What does preparation involve? |
Committed to change, but still feeling uncertain. Have exercised once or twice but not regularly. |
|
|
What does action stage involve? |
Taking steps to change. Regularly active. |
|
|
What does maintenance stage involve? |
Goal achieved, working to maintain and stay consistent. Currently active, regularly for 6 months. |
|
|
What does the relapse/termination stage involve? |
Recurrence of undesirable behaviour or developing new behaviour that is a bad habit. |
|
|
What happens to confidence throughout TTM stages? |
1. Low confidence 2 & 3. Higher confidence 4. Increasing confidence 5. High confidence |
|
|
Who developed the TTM? |
Prochaska, DiClemente & Norcross, 1992 |
|
|
Name some processes of change. |
- consciousness raising - dramatic relief - self-re-evaluation - environmental re-evaluation - social liberation - self-liberation - helping relationships - counter-conditioning - reinforcement management - stimulus control |
|
|
Name some limitations to TTM. |
Ignores social context. No set stages, grey area between stages. No time scale for individuals. Assumes that individuals make coherent and logical plans in their decision-making process. |
|
|
What 3 factors does TTM hypothesise to mediate change? |
Self-efficacy Decisional balance Perceived advantages and disadvantages |
|
|
What factors is the progression through the stages of TTM assumed to be associated with? |
Self-efficacy Decisional balance Perceived advantages and disadvantages |
|
|
Why should other PA correlates be included as factors to mediate change? What are examples of these factors? |
Because adult PA behaviour is influenced by personal, social and environmental determinants as well. E.g. perceived barriers, physical self-concept and gender. |
|
|
In adolescents, what are the 2 steo gest discriminatory of the exercise stage readiness? |
Self-efficacy Barriers |
|
|
Describe an application of TTM. |
Abarca-Sos et Al. Adolescent students in Spain (1704). Questionnaires to determine which stage each was at (perceived barriers, self-concept, self-efficacy, PA & SoC). In prep, maintenance and action stages, more males (possibly due to exercise intensity). Distribution in the stages were fairly equal. PA levels increase across SoC. Self-efficacy and physical self-concept increased across SoC and perceived barriers decreased. |
