Answer:
Joel tries to go running with his friend Sam at least once a week, but hopes to start running more.
Explanation:
The question above is related to "The Stages of Change."
First Stage: <em>Precontemplation</em>
Second Stage: <em>Contemplation</em>
Third Stage:<em> </em><em>Determination</em>
Fourth Stage: <em>Action</em>
Fifth Stage: <em>Maintenance</em>
Sixth Stage: <em>Recurrence</em>
The behavior showing maintenance is on the fifth stage. The person in this scenario has already achieved his goal to change. All he/she has to do is to maintain the behavior by <em>developing the new skill. </em>
Among the choices above, i<u>t is only Joel who is showing such behavior because</u><em><u> he is trying to develop his newfound skill of running by anticipating to run more in the future</u></em><u>.</u> This will allow him to prevent the occurrence of <em>"relapse." </em>It was also stated that he's already been running once a week with his friend, which means he has finally incorporated the change into his life.
The best possible way to verify claims a manufactures makes about a supplement's safety and effectiveness would be to go to the manufactures website and look at the reviews, research the studies behind their product and ask around. Since supplements are usually regulated by the FDA, manufacturers are basically given the "honor system" to provide accurate information to consumers. Doing your own research will help immensely. If you ever see something on a supplement(s) that says, "This statement has not been verified by the Food and Drug Administration", I would take it at my own risk.
