Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Maria's husband has agreed to join her in an exercise program and scheduled times to meet with her shows social support. This is because he is providing encouragement, accountability and company, all of which can increase the likelihood of Maria adhering to the exercise program. Rewards and enabling refer to behaviors that are more likely to lower the perceived value of the exercise program. Readiness is the stage when a person is considering making a change, but has not yet taken action.
