Talk:Transtheoretical Model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article has no reference list. It has parenthetical references, but no corresponding reference list. First paragraph has no references at all. 67.68.49.148 02:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

   The problem is that the person is following the APA copyedit guidlines.  The reference list at the bottom should be  transformed to meet wikistandards.  Sorry, I have an exam tomorrow, on the Stages on Change --Eremgumas (talk) 06:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Permission to edit

This article has several inaccuracies that need to be corrected. It is also missing quite a bit of specific information about this model. I happen to have a PhD in this area. May I go ahead and make the necessary edits?pjj 04:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I really wish you would! IMHO the article is a mess! Beside whatever inaccuracies you refer to there are gaping holes. The article claims that the TTM in soome way assists with change whereas the description of it given in the article simply sets out a temporal mapping of a change process. For instance it states:

Progress is made through the stages by implementing a series of 10 processes of change, as first identified by Prochaska (1979)

but the stages referred to are not even summarised. Frustrating.

I have great respect for the transtheoretical model, but in all fairness, published critiques should be referenced here. This is essential to NPOV. Twenty years after the original research on which it is based, there is a great quantity of literature availble based upon both successful and unsuccessful attempts to apply these principles independent of their original proponents.

The negatives should be reported along with the positives. 24.3.65.68 (talk) 13:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
