Describe an individual who is in the contemplation stage.

What will be an ideal response?


Contemplators know there is a problem and are able to admit that they want the problem to change. They are not ready to take those steps and it is typical for individuals to stay in the contemplation stage for years. They know that they need to address their problem and spend time trying to understand the problem by gathering information, weighing the pros and cons of how to address it, and examine the energy needed to accomplish change.
