Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the ability of 3-month and 6-month changes in the components of the transtheoretical model (TTM - stages of change, processes of change, self-efficacy, decisional balance) to predict 6-month inactive to active stage transition in a randomly selected worksite sample (N=60). Participants completed a web-based survey at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The results indicated that changes in behavioral processes of change from baseline to 3 months, changes in self-efficacy and behavioral processes of change from 3 to 6 months, and self-efficacy, cognitive processes of change, and decisional balance-cons were significant predictors (p<.05) of 6-month stage transition. The findings cast some doubt on the rigidity of the 6-month component in the TTM, as well as the idea that behavioral processes of change are most important in the change process during the later stages.
