In what stage of change does maintaining a changed behavior occur?

Precontemplation
Maintenance
Action
Preparation

The correct answer is: Maintenance

Maintaining a changed behavior occurs in the maintenance stage of change, which is the third stage in the transtheoretical model of change. Precontemplation (A) is the stage where an individual is not yet considering change, while action (C) is the stage where they are actively making changes. Preparation (D) is the stage where an individual is preparing to make a change, but has not yet taken action. Maintenance is when someone is able to sustain the changed behavior over time, making it the correct answer.
