Theory
Stages of Change Model Action theory: The individual has changed their behaviour
Friends, family and social networks are important aspects of a persons life. There is
little doubt that the number of friends one maintains in his or her social network has
a significant impact on a number of aspects of a persons life, including happiness,
good health and satisfaction (Fowle, 2009)

Partner support was driven by an in the influence of expected support on the

effectiveness of received support. Although there were indications of expectations
influencing the effectiveness of received support, none of the critical analyses
reached statistical significance that partners performance of positive behaviour
such as those expressing cooperation-participation and reinforcement for the
quitting attempt, were associated with abstinence 1, 3, and 6 months post
treatment. (Cohen, 2010)
