In this course, you will complete an ongoing writing project that focuses on self-behavioral management. You will attempt to change a behavior (reduce soft drink consumption) Not all changes that are attempted will be completed successfully. Accomplishing a desirable change in habit is difficult, but understanding the process will be crucial to completing the assignments.

Module 6 Assignment Outline

Intervention (Treatment) Data Observation Record Diary

Fill out a Treatment diary - a written record of your behaviors during this 7-day self- observation.

Use the Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence (ABC) Model. The ABC Model is a tool that can help people examine behaviors they want to change, the triggers behind those behaviors, and the impact of those behaviors on negative or maladaptive patterns. Antecedent Behavior Focuses on the Consequences of Actions as a function of triggers (what came before the behavior).

Intervention (Treatment) Graph

Prepare a very simple line graph that illustrates the change in your target behavior over the 7-day intervention period.

Intervention Data Described and Summarized (Based on Information (Data) Entered in your Diary and Presented in your Graph)

Describe the specific situations that affected your behavior during the 7-day self- observation.

Make sure to include the specific triggers related to your behavior: o When did it happen?

o Whowereyouwith? o What were you doing? o Where were you? o What were you saying/thinking to yourself?

What patterns of change did you find from the baseline data observation to the treatment observations?
