(2021). Rule-governed behavior. Salem Press Encyclopedia of Health. Read the following scenario. Identify a behavior you would like to change using self-management. It can be one of your own behaviors or a hypothetical behavior. Identify the behavior targeted for change and describe how self-management can be used to change a behavior. Then, create a self-management plan to change your behavior; include all of the following: Define the target behavior to be changed using a 1-2 sentence operational definition. List competing behaviors. Set your goal. Develop your self-monitoring plan. How will you collect data on the behavior? Functional assessment: Offer your interpretation of what the antecedents and consequences are for the target behavior and competing behaviors. If the target behavior is a behavior excess you are hoping to decrease, what do you think is currently controlling the behavior (e.g., what antecedent and what reinforcer)? If the target behavior is a behavior deficit you are hoping to increase, what antecedents need to cue the behavior and what consequences need to reinforce it? Choose appropriate self-management strategies. Include one antecedent intervention and one contingency-based intervention. A description of how you will evaluate your plan and what you will do if your self-management strategies do not work.
