Effective self-management plans require planning and acknowledging the potential pitfalls. Many self-management plans follow the same basic format of identification of a specific goal and the contingencies to implement it throughout the self-monitoring phases.
For this Assignment, you will consider the suggestions found in the course textbook (i.e., Cooper et al.) to develop a self-management plan for a personal behavior you want to change. The practice of developing and implementing a personal self-management plan will be helpful as you guide clients to create their own self-management plans.
To Prepare
- Select a personal behavior you would like to increase or decrease.
- Review the Summary section of the Cooper text (pp. 711712), specifically Suggestions for Effective Self-Management Program, and consider using this suggestion to help you create your self-management plan for this Assignment.
Assignment (12 pages):
Create a self-management plan for increasing or decreasing the personal behavior you selected.
Be sure to support your Assignment with specific references to behavior-analytic theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search the Walden Library and/or the internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your Assignment. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.
