The TTM posits that individuals move through six stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. Termination was not part of the original model and is less often used in application of stages of change for health-related behaviors.
The factors that influence “change behavior” have been significantly researched, yet one model is the standard-bearer for change. The transtheoretical model (TTM), and its easy-to-follow steps toward change, make understanding human behavior one of the easiest filters to follow.
Learn how to use the stages of change (transtheoretical) model when seeking to change your behavior and work toward a goal. The science supports its effectiveness.
The transtheoretical model posits that health behavior change involves progress through six stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. Ten processes of change have been identified for producing progress along with decisional balance, self-ef …

The model considers how ready people are to quit the addiction and adapts intervention to the stage the client is at. Prochaska’s model of behavior change proposes that overcoming an addiction is the process during which an individual goes through a series of stages.
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) construes behavior change as an intentional process that unfolds over time and involves progress through a series of six stages of change (Prochaska et al. 1992). TTM integrates principles and processes of change from across leading theories, hence the name Transtheoretical.
Although it is often referred to simply as the stages of change model, the TTM includes several different constructs: the ‘stages of change ’, the ‘pros and cons of changing’ (together known as ‘decisional balance’), ‘confidence and temptation’ and the ‘processes of change’.
This chapter describes how the transtheoretical model of behavior change (TTM) provides a framework to guide the development of tailored behavior change interventions.
The transtheoretical model (TTM) is a widely used model of health behavior change (e.g., smoking cessation, eating more healthily), with roots in clinical psychology, having been developed initially to unify the scattered field of psychotherapies.
