This document discusses behavior modification techniques that can be used to influence behavior. It defines behavior as responses to stimuli and is influenced by individual differences, family factors, impairments, environment, and psychology. Behavior modification techniques aim to positively intervene in activities to bring about desirable behavior changes. They apply learning principles systematically to assess and improve overt and covert behaviors and help individuals function better in society. Common techniques discussed include positive reinforcement, punishment, modeling, cueing, desensitization, and biofeedback. Theories discussed include Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory, and expectancy theories of motivation.
Definition of behaviour; includes actions, reactions, conduct, and measurable effects.
Individual differences, family patterns, disabilities, environmental and psychological factors.
Intervening positively in child activities to influence thoughts for desirable behaviour change.
Systematic learning principles to assess and improve covert and overt behaviours for better societal function.
Defining and measuring behaviour, environmental focus, precise methods, scientific emphasis.
Five activities: develop, strengthen, maintain behaviours, and stop inappropriate behaviours.
Classroom monitoring, role playing, moral education, social problem-solving skill teaching.
Steps to implement behaviour management: Observe, pinpoint, record behaviours and change consequences.
Successive approximation, continuous reinforcement, punishment, and negative reinforcement principles.
Modeling good behaviour and cueing for correct performance to prevent misbehaviour.
Decreasing reinforcement, avoidance principle, extinction, and systematic desensitization for fear.
Using biofeedback for understanding physiological states and showing empathy towards children.
Filling a child's emotional tank through eye contact, touch, and undivided attention vs. commands.
Using aversive stimuli with undesirable behaviours to reduce or eliminate those behaviours.
Introduction to behaviour modification theories: Maslow’s, Herzberg’s, Expectancy theory.
Discussion on internal forces labeled as needs that create tension motivating actions to reduce it.
Herzberg's adaptation of Maslow's theory for work, focusing on organizational factors related to needs.Link between physiological, safety, social needs and factors like pay and job security in organizations.How organizational factors interact with individual variables to influence worker behaviour and performance.

good manners; general course of life;

Emphasized definingand measuring behaviour
Treatment focuses greatly on the environment
Methods and rationales can be described precisely.
Most techniques are based on research on
learning
Emphasizes scientific method
Accountability is placed on everyone involved
7.
There arefive categories of activities that can be
addressed with behaviour modification
techniques
Develop a new behaviour
Strengthen a behaviour
Maintain an established behaviour
Stop inappropriate behaviour, stop , stop….

Role playing and modeling
Moral education
Social Problem Solving (SPS): Direct teaching of SPS
skills
(e.g. alternative thinking, means-ends thinking),
dialoguing,
self-instruction training

Guidelines forImplementing behaviour
Management Programme
Step 1: Observe
– Try to identify the crucial productivity behaviours.
Step 2: Pinpoint
– Identify those behaviours that may require change.
10.
Step 3:Record
– Record not only the actively itself but also
• The stimulus conditions under which it occurs,
• As well as the consequences that follow it for the
employee.
Step 4: Change the Consequences
– Correct the feedback deficiencies discovered if
any.
– The lack of rewards etc.
11.
Successive
Approximation Principle
This technique is used to
teach the child a new
behaviour or concept he or
she has not learned, by
rewarding successive steps
to the desired behaviour.
Continuous
Reinforcement Principle
When teaching new
behaviours or tasks that a
child has not learned, use
an immediate reward after
each correct performance.
This technique is much the
same as the first, but this
time you'll be expecting the
behaviour to be exact
instead of something
close to that
12.
Punishment
Processof reducing behaviour
by immediately presenting an
aversive condition contingent
upon a response that results
in a decrease in the frequency
of that response.
Negative Reinforcement
Principle
Some children need more work
than others to acquire good
behaviour, but this technique
of behaviour modification
can be used for every child at
times of resistance and
normal childhood rebellion.
By giving the child choices,
you are teaching him to make
good decisions by offering a
choice of consequences for
good and bad behaviour
13.
Modeling Principle
Whenthe teacher notes a few
of her students
misbehaving, a good
behaviour modification
technique is to verbally
praise the children who are
behaving appropriately.
This sends a message to the
ones you're trying to teach.
This technique works very
well with younger children
who adore the attention of
adults
Cue Principle
To teach a child to remember
a learned behaviour, give a
cue for the correct
performance or behaviour,
just before the action is
expected. This helps to
avoid misbehaviour and
especially with the child
who is more likely to
misbehave without
reminding
14.
Decreasing Reinforcement
This techniqueis also called,
"extinguishing." You
want the child to behave
appropriately, even without
a reward, so once the new
behaviour has been
learned through its
rewards, it's time to slowly
decrease the rewards to
encourage greater
expectations.
Avoidance Principle
To teach a child to avoid a
certain type of situation,
simultaneously present to
the child the situation to
be avoided and some
aversive condition (or its
representation).
15.
Extinction
The principle ofextinction
works removing or changing
what happens after the
behaviour takes place. In
effect, the incentive or reward
that motivates a person to
carry out a certain behaviour
is taken away. When this
happens over and over again,
the motivation to indulge in a
certain behaviour begins to
fade or extinct……
Systematic Desensitization
(Fear Reduction Principle)
Systematic desensitization is a
behaviour modification
practice used to eliminate
fears or undesirable emotions.
An example of this practice
would be removing a person's
fear of public speaking.
Speaking in front of a small
group of friends or family
might be a first step. The
person then gradually works
up to speaking in front of a
larger group of strangers or
associates.
16.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback isa method that
provide immediate
feedback on a person's
physiological state, be it
heart rate, breathing rate
or blood pressure.
Feedback is provided by a
mechanical device that
lets the person know when
particular symptom is
present.
Empathy
To empathise means
placing yourself in the
other man’s place. Show
empathy to your
children.
17.
Emotional Tank
Fill the child’s emotional
tank with:
Eye contact
Gentle touch
Undivided attention
Parental Command
V/s. Cordial
Persuasion
Please “Slow down”
Is often better than
"Stop Running”
18.
Aversion Therapy
A behaviour therapy in which an aversive (causing
a strong feeling of dislike or disgust) stimuli is
paired with an undesirable behaviour in order to
reduce or eliminate that behaviour.
19.
Some behaviourModification Theories-
Maslow’s Need Hierarchy theory.
Herzberg’s Motivation-hygiene Theory
Expectancy Theories of Motivation
20.
It’s mostwidely discussed and researched
motivational theory.
Individuals are motivated to act by internal forces,
which Maslow labels as needs.
22.
Needs whenActivated
Produce tension within individual
Individual act to reduce the tension satisfy the need
23.
– Herzbergtailor Maslow's approach to the work
environment by identifying organisational factors that
corresponded to Maslow's need.
25.
Physiological, safety
andsocial needs.
Ego and self
actualisation needs.
Look of pay, job
security ,company
policy, and
supervision.
Organisational factors
of achievement,
recognition,and
responsibility.
26.
Vroom (1964),porter and lawler (1968) specified-
How organisational factors interact with individual
variables to influence a worker to behave in a creating
manner.
27.
The forcea person to perform an act is a functions of
the algebraic sum of the products of the valences of all
outcomes and the strength of his expectancies.
29.
– Porterand lawler's performance model
• Refutes that satisfaction causes good
performance.
• Good performance The attainment of equitable
and desired rewards Satisfaction.
– The key variable for both good performance and
satisfaction is the receipt of desired rewards.
