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 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.
