Behavior Change: Situation Analysis

MI is used to help an individual during times of uncertainty when expecting a certain change in behaviour. The therapist affirms the positive change when dealing with the individual seeking assurance and debating and struggling with the change. MI helps to foster, encourage and motivate the desire to change that exists in the individual and seeks to drive positive future behavioural changes. MI works closely between the therapist and the individual to focus on the client’s needs and desires positively. By developing a programme that is suited and closely match the clients’ needs for future behavioural change, the therapist injects the positive assurance while the client still has the full autonomy to make decisions.

I have made a schedule on what days I would be writing my papers for my other 3 classes. I also broke down the chapters I will be studying on different days for my algebra class. I don’t think it will be to hard because in high school I had to take 6 exams for all my classes. This year all I have to take is one physical in class exam. So this whole process will be different for me. To this day I still appreciate how prepared I came into college, in large parts thanks to my high school. If all goes well, I can finish my first semester with all A’s. Although the semester went by fast, there were days were it went by really slow. I’ve learned a lot in my first semester. Some things didn’t go as expected for me, but in the end it’s a lesson leaned. Lastly, next semester I will be having a new roommate. One of my roommates is transferring so I am assuming that they would place another girl in our room. I’m anxious to see who it is and how everything turns out. Hopefully everything works out because have good roommates is essential for a good college experience, in my opinion. Anyways these next 2 weeks I will be reviewing all my notes and writing all my papers. I know what the reward is for me if I everything goes well. I must finish the semester

My goal for this behavior change assignment is to get at least seven hours of sleep for at least five nights a week for at least two weeks. I set my goal to be at least seven hours because that is the recommended number of hours of sleep a adult should have each night. I wanted to make this behavior change because I find myself feeling tired and exhausted throughout the day because of the lack of sleep I get. I also wanted to make this behavior change because I began to take naps in the afternoon. After waking up from these naps, I felt even more exhausted and tired than before I took the nap. I’m hoping that by getting more sleep at night that I can eliminate naps so I can use my time for something more productive. This behavior goal wasn't a easy habit for me to change.

A client approached me because he has a serious problem with procrastination. My client has procrastinated most activities that were not comfortable or enjoyable for as far back as he can remember. Procrastinated activities include but are not limited to paying bills, doing homework assignments, making progress on assigned projects in the office, buying presents for birthdays or holidays and scheduling just about anything. Due to this undesirable behavior my client has lost a few jobs, failed out of school and is behind on his mortgage. Of all of these activities my client would like assistance with procrastination as it

I am completing this behavior change project on myself. I had to think long and hard about what habit I would like to change. I must say, at first, I actually did not have a personal problem with this behavior I chose to modify. After carefully examining my bank and credit card statements in November, I had noticed that I was spending hundreds of dollars per month on takeout.

If I were given the opportunity to live on another planet with other people, I would find purpose. The new economies created by these territories would open many options for my career. Critical to the sustainability of human life on an alien planet is engineers. Engineers are required to create and maintain structures and equipment critical to survival of the masses. I would like to be one of those engineers. We would be responsible for the lives of everyone on the planet, but I can handle that pressure. This opportunity would grant me the ability to be remembered by all

My behavior change was to go to the Colvin more. When I made this choice, I thought it would go quite well for me, considering I lived near the Colvin and I considered my class schedule to be fairly spaced out. My goals were simple: go to the Colvin a certain amount of time by a certain date, and go to a certain amount of dance (Tango) classes by a certain date. My rewards for completing those goals seemed to be enough to motivate me. I was confident that I would be able to complete this behavior change and feel better about myself and my personal health.

The behavior change I chose for my project was one I have always struggled to do. Increasing the amount of water someone drinks because it can help control calorie intake, produce energy for muscles, keep skin looking clearer, and it helps maintain regular bowel movements. I chose to increase my amount of water intake during the school week in order to hopefully obtain these benefits. To assist myself in making this behavior change I began carrying around a seventeen ounce water bottle in my backpack everywhere I went. Overall, this goal is one that can improve someone’s health without using many other outside sources.

My overall experience with the behavior change project was positive, as I was able to successfully change my sleeping habits. Although there were times when sticking to my behavior change plan was extremely difficult, I was able to stay on track and change my sleeping habits. As a result of my behavior change, I now feel healthier and less fatigued. Because of these physical improvements, important areas of my life, such as school and sports, have improved also. My performance in the classroom and on the basketball court has noticeably become better after making this behavior change.

Mirror published a story about a father and husband who totally spied members of his family. [1] He installed an application on their mobile devices which allowed him to control their location, to read their emails, text messages. This application allows him even to listen to their conversations and to see who they are with via camera. While this story makes an impression as being fabricated, it could serve as a basis to deliberate about aspects of human nature. Though the husband’s misdeed is at least controversial from legal and ethical point of view, nevertheless the causative effects of his behaviour is a matter of concern in this paper. I will talk about the human behaviour first, about how it is perceived from a scientific

One of Carol’s negative behaviors is her constant talking out of turn. Since Carol continues the behavior despite being repeatedly corrected, I feel it is very possible that she is talking out of turn as a way to receive attention. This behavior can be explained by Dreikurs’ behavioral goals which states that most misbehavior is for attention (“Reasons for Student,” 2003). The students who strive for attention will do just about anything to receive it, without regard to what behavior is acceptable (“Reasons for Student,” 2003). Since Carol continues the behavior despite knowing it is unacceptable, she is falling in line with this point.

Money and fame do not motivate my goals. Engineering in all forms is a field of innovation and invention. Aspirations of any great engineer should be to introduce to the world a new idea, product, or service that will make people happier and the environment safer. Success in these challenges is a reward greater than any dollar amount or public recognition. Engineers bring societies to new levels of civilization through their advancements in technology and discovery. The challenge to provide people with ever-increasing standards while at the same time feeding the population with ideas of what could be attracts my imagination, intelligence, and curiosity far more

Work experience as an engineer is very important. Knowing how to react in certain situations under certain circumstances is an essential part of being an engineer. Engineering industry have a wide variety of jobs such as civil engineer where you over-watch bridges, building and the other important structures, it makes sure everything is up to code for large building and structures. Mechanical engineering works on mechanical systems and other complex mechanics, such as; cranes and airplane motors. If someone who is inexperienced tries to take on a real engineer job, there could be extreme results and repercussions. Problems we face in the engineering world be when there are or could potentially be an irresponsible engineer or engineers, who are the lead project manager(s) working on something for public use like a bridge, if he fails in calculations due lack of knowledge and truth, where it may cause deaths if there is a failure in the bridge.
