During which stage of change does an individual actively change their behavior?

  1. Action

  2. Preparation

  3. Maintenance

  4. Precontemplation

The correct answer is: Action

In the stages of change model, the stage during which an individual actively changes their behavior is the Action stage. This stage involves taking concrete steps to modify and adjust the behavior of concern. The individual is making visible efforts to implement the changes identified during the Preparation stage. Precontemplation is the stage where the individual is not yet acknowledging the problem behavior and has no intention of changing it. During the Preparation stage, individuals are intending to take action in the immediate future and may have already begun making small changes. In the Maintenance stage, the focus is on maintaining the changes that have been successfully implemented during the Action stage in order to prevent relapse.
