Proposal for Behavior Change Program – Psychology Learning

• Write proposal for behavior change programs: These could be behavior changes for yourself or someone else (friend, family member, etc.). Each program should incorporate and specify at least two basic principles of behavior discussed in this course. You may elect to increase/decrease the frequency of an existing behavior, establish a new behavior, or some combination. It will also be important to incorporate the information discussed in the methods and design section (Unit 2) of the course when designing your behavior change program. Proposals should be 2-3 pages, typed, and double spaced. Each should include an introduction (describing the behavior, the person involved, a rationale for changing the behavior, and at least one peer reviewed BEHAVIORAL article (e.g., from the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis or the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior as a reference), detailed response definitions, a response measurement, the behavior change strategies that would be used, and the expected results. Each behavior change proposal is worth 20 points.
