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: Precontemplation
Second Stage: Contemplation
Third Stage: Determination
Fourth Stage: Action
Fifth Stage: Maintenance
Sixth Stage: Recurrence
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 developing the new skill.
Among the choices above, it is only Joel who is showing such behavior because he is trying to develop his newfound skill of running by anticipating to run more in the future. This will allow him to prevent the occurrence of "relapse." 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.
