Also, results showed that a significant differencebetween stages and processes of change so that individuals progress across stages of change frompre-contemplation to maintenance increased cognitive and behavioral processes’ scores (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of participants (80%) were in inactive stages (pre-contemplation, contemplation, and preparation) of change for weight control, while only 20% of them were in active stages (action and maintenance).
