    Part 1: Scenario

    Instructions Scenario and Behavior
    Describe the scenario and the behavior you would like to change. Use the language of behavioral theory and operant conditioning to describe your scenario. In my daily life, I struggle with maintaining a consistent exercise routine. Currently, I find myself largely sedentary, which has adverse effects on my physical health and overall well-being. Recognizing the importance of regular physical activity, I aim to change this behavior by actively incorporating exercise into my daily or weekly routine.

    Part 2: Plan

    Conditioning Principle Your Plan Notes
    Targeted Response: What is the behavior you want to see occur? Engage in regular exercise. Aim to incorporate physical activity into daily routine.
    Primary Reinforcer The feeling of accomplishment and improved mood after exercising (Stuntz et al., 2020). Emphasize the positive effects of exercise on mood and well-being (Annesi, 2020).
    Secondary Reinforcer Reward system: Indulging in a favorite treat or activity after completing a week’s worth of exercise (Kirgios et al., 2020). Reinforce behavior with a secondary reward for consistency (Murnane et al., 2020).
    Schedules of Reinforcement Initially, use continuous reinforcement for each instance of completing the exercise. Then transition to a fixed ratio schedule, rewarding after achieving a certain number of weekly exercise sessions (Berardi et al., 2020). Establish a consistent reinforcement schedule to encourage and maintain behavior change (May & Treadwell, 2020).
    Shaping Start with short, manageable exercise sessions and gradually increase duration and intensity (Metcalfe et al., 2020). Utilize shaping to build momentum and establish a routine.
    Optional follow-up: In this area, add any additional comments you would like to make about the operant conditioning exercise (not required). It’s essential to monitor progress and adjust reinforcement strategies as needed to ensure continued motivation and success in maintaining the desired behavior. Regular evaluation and adaptation of reinforcement techniques are crucial for long-term behavior change (Miller et al., 2021).

Identity Crisis Theory, proposed by Erik Erikson, centers on the struggle to establish a sense of self and purpose, particularly during adolescence. Also visits our
