Develop a Behavior Change Contract
A behavior change contract is a written document that specifies a particular target behavior for a client and the consequences that will be contingent on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the behavior in a stated period of time (Miltenberger, 2016). For this assignment, you will publish a behavior contract for you or for someone you know with the goal of modifying a target behavior.
First, identify the behavior to be modified.
Use the Capella Library to research peer-reviewed articles that address the development of behavior contracts. Identify three articles, and briefly analyze the effectiveness of the behavior contracts described in each article, comparing and contrasting the contracts and the processes used to develop them and identifying the strengths and weaknesses in each design.
Then, publish your behavior contract, utilizing the best practices you identified in your research. Your contract must:
Identify the target behavior to be addressed.
Establish a method for collecting data.
Define the level of progress desired for modifying the target behavior.
Identify the period of time the contract will be in effect.
Identify the contingencies, and who will implement them, in order to be able to modify the target behavior.
