Behavior modification uses operant conditioning techniques to change undesirable behaviors. Once a behavioral excess or deficit is identified, secondary reinforcement is identified and applied to create desired changes. Behavior modification is often implemented in an attempt to improve overall health and wellbeing. The purpose of this assignment is to illustrate your understanding of behavior modification. Use the "Behavior Modification Plan" document to complete your assignment.

PSY-102 General Psychology Topic 4 – Learning, Motivation, and Health Behavior Modification Plan Worksheet Directions: Develop a plan using behavior modification to improve your overall health and wellbeing. Thoroughly address each question below. The total word count for all five questions should be 250-350 words. Please note: include APA in-text citation and an APA Reference list. A minimum of two scholarly sources are required to support your explanations. 1. Brainstorm a list of five behaviors that you wish to change. Consider behaviors that you engage in too much such as staying up too late, too much screen time, or drinking too much soda. Also, consider behaviors you do not engage in enough such as exercise, studying, meditating, or water consumption. After each behavior, write a brief explanation of how modifying the behavior would improve your overall health and wellbeing. 2. Choose one behavior from the list. Create a realistic, specific, and measurable goal to modify the behavior. For example, your goal should not simply read “I will increase my water consumption.” Instead, write: “I will drink 64 oz. of water daily." 3. Select an appropriate and obtainable reinforcer. Describe why the reinforcer was selected and how it relates to the behavior you are proposing to change. 4. Describe the schedule of reinforcement you will use. For example, will you reinforce the behavior every time it occurs, at the end of each day, after two to three days, at the end of the week? Describe why you selected this schedule of reinforcement. 5. Consider the role of motivation in behavior change. What factors motivate behavior? How might these factors increase the likelihood that your plan to change the select behavior will be successful? References © 2022. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved.

1) Reducing screen time. I could do more if I spent less time staring at a screen. This would
lead to enough sleep time and low-stress levels in the morning.
2) Increasing regular exercise routine. If I were to engage in more physical activity, I would
be better able to control my stress levels and have more stamina to get through my days.
3) Reducing consumption of manufactured food. I might lower my risk of getting chronic
conditions like obesity if I limit my junk food intake.
4) Increasing wate...
