When Jack rates his readiness to adopt a healthy behavior as a 3, which stage of change does this suggest?

Precontemplation
Contemplation
Preparation
Action

The correct answer is: Precontemplation

When Jack rates his readiness to adopt a healthy behavior as a 3, it suggests he is in the contemplation stage of change. In this stage, individuals recognize the benefits of changing their behavior but may feel ambivalent or uncertain about committing to that change. A rating of 3 indicates that while Jack is considering the possibility of adopting healthier habits, he has not yet fully committed to taking actionable steps. In contrast, those in the precontemplation stage are typically unaware of the need for change or have no intention of changing their behavior in the foreseeable future. Therefore, a rating of 3 would not align with precontemplation, which is characterized by a lack of readiness to change. Understanding these stages helps health coaches tailor their approaches based on an individual's readiness and motivation.
