In the Preparation stage, what belief does the person hold?

  1. Change is impossible.

  2. The behavior can be changed and they can manage that change.

  3. There is no need for change.

  4. They have already achieved success in changing behaviors.

The correct answer is: The behavior can be changed and they can manage that change.

In the Preparation stage, an individual recognizes that the behavior they want to change can indeed be altered, and they believe they possess the ability to manage that change. This stage is characterized by a proactive mindset where individuals start planning and committing to their changes. They often engage in small steps to prepare for more significant behavioral modifications, such as seeking information, setting goals, or even reaching out for support. This belief in one's capacity to change is crucial for moving into action, as it fosters motivation and resilience during the change process. In contrast, the other beliefs reflect either a sense of defeat, apathy towards change, or a false sense of completion, which do not align with the proactive mindset typical of the Preparation stage.
