Abstract
Mini-c ― the earliest stage of creativity ― is defined as the novel and personally meaningful interpretation of experiences, actions, and events. We believe training of mini-c might be everyday behavior modification. We focused on the Transtheoretical model and investigated how the processes of change (PoC) would change as individuals moved through the stages. As a result, three PoC factors were found: “positive recognition and frustration avoidance,” “commitment and preparation,” and “others’ encouragement and use of support.” In addition, the relationships between these three factors and the stages of change, and the relationships among these three factors in each stage of change were clarified. This paper discusses the features of PoC on mini-c and points of attention in mini-c training groupwork.
