Behavior Modification – Section A

This paper is designed with 2 objectives in mind. First, I want you to be personally invested in the topic by choosing a behavior change you are invested in. This should be a behavior that you would like to change in yourself – either a behavioral deficit or behavioral excess. Second, I would like you to research the topic and see what behavior modification attempts have been studied in the chosen area and the outcomes of such approaches. Ideally I would like for you to leave this class with a practical approach to managing a personal behavior you would like to modify, while also having a strong understanding of the field of behavior modification itself. Thus, a blend of theory and practice.

INSTRUCTIONS:

(a)Begin be clearing describing a target behavior you would like to adjust/modify/change/eradicate/increase. Operationally define your target behavior. Be as specific as possible because you are going to monitor this behavior. For example, I would like to decrease my sugary food intake to 3 times per week. Sugary foods include, but are not limited to: sodas and fruit juices, dessert-foods (e.g., cake, ice-cream, pie), processed snacks (e.g., donuts, cookies, chocolate bars). Try to be expansive and inclusive in your operational definition of anything that would fall under, or be descriptive of, your target behavior. The more detail provided the better.

(b)Then, explain why you currently find your target behavior to be an issue you would like to focus on. What problem(s)/challenge is the behavior causing you at present? [minimum 2 detailed paragraphs in length]

Behavior Modification – Section A

(a)For 2 weeks (Monday through Sunday for 14 days) you are going to monitor your target behavior and record each and every time it occurs or doesn’t occur. So, if you were focusing on nail-biting, you would keep a daily tally of every time you catch yourself biting your nails. [You can choose whatever consecutive 2 week window suits your schedule.]

(b)I would like you to quantify your behavior in terms of frequency and duration. If you were monitoring attending the gym you would track how many times you attended across the 14 days, what you did while at the gym, and how long you worked out at the gym. Again, the goal is to get a detailed baseline of the behavior as it is currently occurring.

(c)Summarize your findings over the 2 week period (see [b]). [all charts, quantitative data, and detailed summary paragraph are to be included]

Behavior Modification – Section A

After recording your two weeks of data tracking, you want to address the following questions: – where does the behavior takes place; who is around when the behavior does or does not occur? – what reasons did you find for engaging, or not engaging, in the target behavior over the past two weeks? – what were the antecedents (i.e., what happened right before the failure to perform the target behavior or that caused you to perform the target behavior? For example, if the behavior was vaping which you want to stop, what happened right before you decided to vape or not vape that is related to your choice to engage or not engage in the behavior? – what was the consequence of engaging or not engaging in the target behavior? (e.g., emotional reactions and accompanying thoughts you experienced at the time?) – any other observations or insights gleaned from your tracking efforts?

Behavior Modification – Section A

Given the observations you’ve stated above in part 3, I would like you to ask yourself what you think is the biggest hurdle to your own self-control. Look back at the lecture notes for Chapter 25 at the beginning where I provide a bullet-point list of causes for issues with self-control. What do you feel is the biggest reason impacting why you are putting off (and have been putting off) engaging in the desired target behavior currently in your life? Or, why you can’t let go of a habit you really want to change. Or why can’t you start a new behavior you really want to adopt? Discuss. [minimum 2-3 paragraphs] Use APA referencing style.

Rhetorical Analysis – Journal Article

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Rhetorical Analysis – Journal Article

Choose a peer reviewed journal article from your field. You are looking for an article that has either made a new discovery or is reporting on primary research the authors have conducted using an IMRD structure. A literature review (summary of the research on a topic), as described in the handout on Blackboard, will not work well for this assignment. When you submit this worksheet, you must include a copy of the article. A link will NOT be sufficient. PDF, Word, or other “savable” files are acceptable. I will be reviewing your source article first and then your worksheet.

Read the article carefully until you have a good understanding of it and then answer 10 of the following questions. Use complete sentences, and insert your answers into this document. Please clearly identify your answers with an alternative font color or treatment, such as bolding or italics. Be specific and give examples.

Based on class lecture and discussion, what is this article’s purpose?
What is the article’s title? Where was it originally published and when?
What is the article about and what is its thesis statement?
Who wrote this document? What are their credentials? (What does the article tell you? What can you assume is true about this author or authors? What does additional research tell you? The first author’s credentials is sufficient for research outside of the article itself.)

Rhetorical Analysis – Journal Article

Who is the audience of this article? Who are the primary readers? Describe them.
What characteristics do these readers have based on language use, content, and format/organization choices? What does the writer seem to take for granted about the reader’s knowledge of the subject matter, methodologies, or conventions?
Look at the introduction. What does the author/s say about relevant research that came before this project?
In the introduction, what does the author/s say about how this project is different than other research?
In the introduction, what sources are cited and how are they used? What are their purpose in this section?
In the methods/materials section, what do you observe about the author/s description of the methods they used?

Rhetorical Analysis – Journal Article

In the methods/materials section, what kind of sources does the writer cite? How many?
What function do these citations perform in the methods/materials section?
In the results section, on which data and analysis do the researchers-writers concentrate?
In the discussion section, how do the researchers expand the context of the article away from the data collection site(s) to bring in larger issues and perhaps more places and a larger time span? Give an example.
Describe the article’s document design and the article’s use of graphics.
What claims about cause and effect are made?
What correlations are drawn?

Rhetorical Analysis – Journal Article

Pay attention to the qualifying language the writers use in expressing implications in the discussion section. Write down a few of the qualifying words or phrases. (Some common terms include “seems,” “may,” “possibly,” “probably,” “sometimes,” and many other related words or phrases.
Think about the terms from question 18 in stating the implications. Do they affect your reaction to the implications? Do they appear to express the appropriate level of confidence? What changes would you suggest?
What kind of data is offered to support claims? Qualitative? Quantitative? Give a couple of examples.
What tense, mood, and voice are the verbs in? (Do they change from section to section?)
What are the nouns like? (specialized jargon? common nouns?) Give a couple of examples.
What are the adjectives like? (concrete, specific measurements? generally descriptive?) Give a couple of examples.
What is the average length of sentences? Are the sentences mostly simple, compound, or complex?
Give a general summary of whether you feel this article is effective in communicating the discovery with its audience or not and why. Use APA referencing style.

Media’s Influence on Death

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Media’s Influence on Death

During week 2 we investigated the media’s influence on death. For this assignment you will research two different individual memorial websites. The memorial websites you will research are only those websites that allow an individual or a family to create a memorial for an individual that is deceased, not for a deceased group, or to hold a virtual service for the deceased. Use the enclosed template for this assignment.

You will answer the following in two separate sections for each memorial website you pick, which is already provided for you on the template. Answers are to be completed in detail with support from each website. Not just a sentence or two or yes/no answers. You need to explain for each question with details, examples, and the like. This means you will need in-text citations and a resource page to support your assertions. Do not use long quotes in this assignment. The assignment does ‘not’ require you to make a memorial either.

Media’s Influence on Death

List the website name and address
Does the website clearly state its objective(s) for participants? If not, what you do you believe are the objectives for each memorial website?
Is the website free and easily accessible?
Is the website user friendly or difficult to use?
What are the features to each memorial website you chose? Are there extra features available at a financial cost?
What is posted on each individual’s memorial website, e.g., pictures, text? Be sure to explain.
How does the website support religious commitment and ritual along with dealing with the dying process and grief?
How do you believe the media has played a role with influencing the memorial websites you chose?

Media’s Influence on Death

Then you will conclude the assignment with a paragraph explaining your thoughts for creating, or not creating, an online presence for a deceased person on a memorial website. Be sure to explain your reasoning. Use APA referencing style.

Here are some examples of websites to investigate.

You will need to Google the site you are interested in for the assignment.

Forever Missed
Never Gone
Christian Memorials
Memories
Remembered
Gathering Us
Find a Grave
My Keeper
My Farewelling
