which one?

Answer 1

The correct answer is ‘ precontemplation stage of change’

This is because, the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) focuses on the decision-making of the individual in the context of changing their habitual behaviour patterns such as deciding to quit smoking. This takes place through a series of six stages. The first stage is that of the precontmeplation stage which occurs when People are often unaware that their behavior is problematic or that it produces negative consequences for them. They therefore have not considered changing their smoking behaviour.
