尽管人们对健康行为的阶段性理论越来越感兴趣，但文献中对阶段性理论的基本特征和检验此类理论的方式仍存在相当大的困惑。本文详细讨论了阶段性理论的四个关键特征--范畴系统、范畴的有序、范畴内改变的相似障碍和范畴之间改变的不同障碍。健康行为的阶段模型的例子也被描述。四种主要类型的研究设计可能被用来检验阶段理论，包括来自经验文献的例子。最常用的设计涉及对被认为处于不同阶段的人进行横断面比较，在测试行为变化是否遵循一个阶段过程方面价值有限。(《心理信息数据库记录(C)2016 APA》，版权所有)
Despite growing interest in stage theories of health behavior, there is considerable confusion in the literature concerning the essential characteristics of stage theories and the manner in which such theories should be tested. In this article, the 4 key characteristics of a stage theory—a category system, an ordering of categories, similar barriers to change within categories, and different barriers to change between categories—are discussed in detail. Examples of stage models of health behavior also are described. Four major types of research designs that might be used for testing stage theories are examined, including examples from the empirical literature. The most commonly used design, which involves cross-sectional comparisons of people believed to be in different stages, is shown to have only limited value for testing whether behavior change follows a stage process.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
