hw1.docxThe purpose of this project is to have each student select a behavior to monitor over the course. In reality, changing behaviors can be a lengthy process, depending on the nature of the behavior to be changed. During Module One, students will be exposed to Prochaska et al.’s Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (Ch. 02). While a majority of people trying to modify/change a behavior do not benefit from “action-oriented” approaches such as Nike’s Just do it!,” research has suggested that those that have been successful in changing their behavior, whether the omission of a negative or the adoption of a positive, tend to follow five stages—precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Moreover, progress through these five stages are facilitated by nine processes of change (refer to Chapter 2). Students should select a behavior that would be characterized as being in the precontemplation or contemplation stage. The lab activities included at the conclusion of Chapter 02 can help to determine the current stage.
STEP 9: Implement Your Strategies and Record Your Progress
Record your progress for ten weeks. General comments are expected with each scale entry for each provided week and are a significant contributor to the overall grade. Knowing the conditions of each week and how they facilitate success (or failure) is a significant factor in promoting successful behavior modification from a week-to-week.

STEP 10: Assessing the Result of Your Behavior Modification
As was discussed in class, behavior modification requires a conscious effort in order for successful modifications to occur. In the provided spaces below, briefly discuss your experience through the process of this project.
Complete the following three (3) discussion questions. Please provide thoughtful responses (requires inflection) as I read each students project. I want to know what kind of experience each of you went through. Given the purpose of the project, thoughtful responses are expected. Having monitored your behavior over 10 weeks, you should have something to say.
A. Describe how successful you were in achieving your goals?
|
|
B. What were the main obstacles you encountered while striving to achieve your goal?
|
|
C. If you were to go back and start the project again, what would you specifically do differently?
|
|
D. What did you learn about yourself? What did you learn from the project?
