At what stage of change does an individual start to think about changing?

Maintenance
Action
Contemplation
Preparation

The correct answer is: Contemplation

At what stage of change does an individual start to think about changing? The individual starts to think about changing during the contemplation stage. During this stage, a person is aware that a change needs to be made, but has not yet taken any actions towards making it happen. This is different from maintenance, which is the stage after the change has been successfully implemented and maintained. Action and preparation are also incorrect, as action is the stage where a person actively makes changes and preparation is the stage where a person is getting ready to make a change. Therefore, neither of these options accurately describe when an individual starts to think about changing.
