Behavior Modification Programs
Antecedent
Behavior
Consequence
1) Define the behavior to be changed in specific terms
2) make a commitment to change
3) Collect data about your behavior
4) Design a Self Control program
5) Make the program last - maintenance

TV violence and the Bobo Doll
Strict behaviorism suggests that the environment generates some stimulus
that a person behaviorally responses to which then changes the environment
providing another stimulus for the person to respond to and so on.
Environment <------------>Behavior
(Stimulus)
(Response)
Bandura believed that if behavior was simply S-R based, then we should not see as much variability as we see within and between subjects. That is, people often think before they respond and their thoughts or belief may alter their behavior.
