In the stages of change model, which of the following would not occur in the contemplation stage of behavior change, prior to proceeding onto the next stage of change?

avoiding environments that trigger unhealthy behavior

Explanation:

In this stage of change, the advantages and disadvantages of being in this stage is almost the same, thus the individual is always indifferent toward change when in the contemplation stage. In a case where the decision balance falls to the positive side such that the advantages outweighs the disadvantages for maintaining the unhealthy behavior, individuals in this stage tend to move to the preparation or Action stage. Thus, there is no such thing as avoiding environments that trigger unhealthy behavior in this stage as this is most peculiar with people in the termination stage.
