Application Exercise 9.2: Identifying Well-Formed Behavioral
Objectives in a Case Example:
During the past year, Nevin has gained 20 pounds at college. He is not certain what has caused
the problem, but this is the first time he has been away fromhome, and he admits he feels a
bit cut off and lonely. He is drinking about six beers per week. He says that he stays late in
the dining hall just to chat with friends and ends up eating a lot then. He also snacks while
studying. He frequently skips breakfast (5 days a week) and sometimes lunch (once per
week) but seems to eat throughout the evening. Suppose that Nevin agrees with the
following goals: (1) Nevin will eat three meals daily,
and (2) Nevin wants to quit snacking. The following are some possible behavioral objectives.
Evaluate the objectives as follows: Are they specific (s), positively stated (p), measureable
(m), and realistic (r)? Assume that Nevin has the time for some exercise.
