Task: To plan, undertake, and critically evaluate a behaviour modification programme.Definition of the TaskYou are to choose an aspect of your behaviour that you would like to change, and then design and carry out a behaviour modification programme. There are three main steps to this programme:1. Identify and carefully define the behaviour you wish to alter.2. Design a programme to modify the behaviour in the desired ways.3. Apply your programme for at least three weeks, and then critically evaluate the outcome.Purpose of the Behaviour Modification ProjectThis project is expected to achieve three things that are beyond the scope of the weekly tutorials:1. Provide practical experience in modifying behaviour so that students will understand how to assist patients in the process of behaviour change.2. Involve students in doing research, as distinct from completing pre-planned laboratory tasks.The assignment is an exploration of the research question: Is it possible to modify my behaviour?3. Provide insight into the challenges of behaviour modification and the extent to which the behaviour of a typical adult can be modified.This project is assigned 20 of the 100 marks in this paper.The report must be on an aspect of your own behaviour, not another person's behaviour. Reports not based on your behaviour will not be marked
