Things that hinder our ability to change behaviour
Can include resistance, lack of motivation, fear, habits, etc.
Why do people not change in order to engage in more healthy behaviour?
Tip
Understanding change is important for the field of clinical psychology.
Researchers often look into people's resistance to treatment and why they choose to not cope healthily.
Intervention, prevention, and promotion strategies
These usually aim to address behavioural issues in either treatment or to avert the development of an adverse behaviour.
They aim to provide a comprehensive approach to tackling mental health issues.
Example
Intervention
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to improve mental health through one's cognition (thoughts) and behaviour (acts).
Example
Prevention
A program at work aimed to teach resilience and coping mechanisms.
Example
Promotion
A city-wide campaign to promote exercise.

Note
The Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM) is a comprehensive framework for understanding how people change behaviors over time. It breaks down the change process into five distinct stages: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance. This model helps us recognize that change is not a single event, but a continuous journey.
Analogy
Think of the TTM as a map for behavior change - just like a road trip, you can't jump from your starting point to your destination without passing through various stages in between.
Example
Someone trying to quit smoking might start in Pre-contemplation (not thinking about quitting), move to Contemplation (considering quitting), then Preparation (making a plan), followed by Action (actively quitting), and finally Maintenance (sustaining the change).
