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 `will increase my
water consumption. nstead, write: `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?
