In-depth interview findings (Hsiung & Ferrans, 2007) further showed that a classification between
contemplators and preparers held no real meaning, in that Chinese patients who self-defined themselves as preparers did not seem to prepare more than their
contemplator counterparts.
Not sure which I fit into - creatives, maybe, as I made something that I then gave out to passers-by, or
contemplators as I sat quietly while working on the birds rather than promoting a cause or giving a perfor mance.
A previous study involving American adults found that 47.8% of the precontemplators and 73.3% of the
contemplators had ever made serious attempts to stop smoking, which may indicate that maintaining smoking cessation is as difficult as adopting it.
Identifying the positive and negative aspects of continuing to smoke and emphasizing the negative consequences of continuing to smoke will help the
contemplator resolve ambivalence toward continuing to smoke.
Puritan devotees of the imitatio, in Crisp's view, were failing to be true to puritan
contemplators of the Adamic bequest--"that universall leprosie and loathsomnesse over-spreading man." (44) The bequest of depravity was not to be mitigated by the law's solicitation of "our righteousnesses." There should be no holy walk in the covenant, no pious passage to a goal of Christic mimesis.
A limited sub-sample of precontemplators and

contemplators; and from it is then born the actual creation, which is far superior in dignity to the contemplation or science which precedes it." Leonardo proclaimed painting the greatest science because it was perceivable through the eye and thus accessible to all without need of interpreters.
His sons and friends dug the grave and found the headstone lying in it, and they built a stone seat next to the grave for
contemplators. No professional undertaker, no expenses, a self-sufficient ending!
Forty-nine percent (n = 73) were contemplating hastening their deaths (
contemplators) and 51 percent (n = 75) were not (noncontemplators).
To date, there has been no systematic description of how MI strategies can be matched to the specific needs of precontemplators versus
contemplators. First, the HR philosophy is discussed in relation to binge drinking on campus.
Nuances of their bearing denoted their importance and set off, by contrast, the irrelevance of mere
contemplators. They were as rocks in the stream, stabilized by purpose.
To better assess whether observed income differences between attempters and
contemplators are an artifact of heterogeneity, I engaged in several additional analyses.
