Question: Behavior Modification Project: Research Paper Instructions
You will write a 3-5-page, APA formatted, research paper that will aid you in the Behavior Modification Project. You should reference your textbook and at least 4 additional peer-reviewed journal articles. The research paper will include a title page, 150-250-word abstract, 3-5-page body, and references page. The body of your research paper will have an introduction, Section I on your target behavior, Section II on your treatment method, and a conclusion. You can give Section I and Section II appropriate titles for your paper.
The first section will focus on peer-reviewed research that others have already done on your target behavior, or a similar behavior. How did they study this behavior? What treatment did they use? Was it effective?
The second section of your paper will require you to research the treatment you intend to use to change your behavior. Choose one of the chapters from your textbook (Reinforcement, Token Economies, Behavioral Contracts, Using Punishment: Time-Out and Response Cost, etc.). You also may cite any peer-reviewed journal articles that focus on your treatment method, or in which the authors used it to treat their target behavior.
