The final stage is to confirm behavior, actions are strengthened and integrated, preventing persuasive communication eliminating behavioral practices that have been brought before. Therefore, behavioral behavior is built into the cognitive framework, the usual way.

According to the theoretical cross model of behavior change, also known as the stage of the change model, it is pointed out that there are five stages of behavioral change. The five phases an individual can migrate before full change is achieved are pre-consideration, consideration, action preparation, action, and maintenance. At the stage before the examination, the individual may be aware of the problem, and may not have noticed, but I did not expect to change the behavior. From prejudice to pondering, individuals start thinking about changing certain behaviors. During the preparation period, individuals begin their change plans, and during the action phase individuals consistently begin showing new behavior. When they show new behavior lasting more than six months, they eventually enter the maintenance phase. Factors that contribute to this decrease include external factors such as weather, seasonal changes, individual problems.
