What is characterized by feelings of frustration and failure?

Maintenance
Contemplation
Relapse
Action

The correct answer is: Relapse

Contemplation is incorrect because it refers to the stage of change in which a person is considering changing their behavior. Maintenance refers to the stage of change in which a person has maintained their behavior for at least six months. Action refers to the stage of change in which a person has recently changed their behavior. The correct answer, relapse, refers to the act of returning to old behaviors after attempting to change them, and is therefore characterized by feelings of frustration and failure.
