This cumulative assignment allows you to consider everything you have learned over the past 5 weeks in an attempt to change a behavior of your own. This overall process is similar to what a board-certified behavior analyst would compete with a new client.

• Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that outlines an intervention plan for changing that behavior, in which you discuss the following:

• Describe the target behavior.
• Outline the dimensions of measurement/baseline measurement.
• Describe the function of the baseline behavior.
• Outline the goals of the behavioral change.
• Propose a behavior intervention plan based on goals.
  • Provide a minimum of 2 antecedent changes.
  • Provide 4 to 5 consequence modifications. Choose consequences based on at least four of the following: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, negative punishment, positive punishment, and extinction. 
• Describe any potential barriers to treatment, as well as how you would overcome these barriers.
• Describe the expected outcome if the behavior intervention plan was implemented and followed.

I did my on unhealthy eating habits. The chart is as follows:

My target behavior is decreasing my poor health habits in three days.

Dimensions of measurement should be the same across all 3 days

Calories consumed (day 1)

Calories consumed (day 2)

Calories consumed (day 3)

Baseline measurement

2000 calories (day 1)

2500 calories (day 2)

1900 calories (day 3)

Function of baseline behavior should be the same across all 3 days WHY I am overeating and not exercising.

The easiness of fast food vs. cooking a healthy meal (day 1)

The easiness of fast food vs. cooking a healthy meal (day 2)

The easiness of fast food vs. cooking a healthy meal (day 3)

This was the short essay I wrote with it. 

In this assignment, you will identify and discuss factors that contribute to self-image during middle childhood and adolescence.

Write a 6- to 7-page research paper on factors influencing self-image during middle childhood and adolescence.

Tasks:

Conduct a review from professional literature—articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks—on the factors influencing self-image during middle childhood and adolescence. Topics to consider include:

• Family constellation
• Risk and protective factors
• Various aspects of cultural identity
• Physical characteristics
• Social interactions with peers

Submission Details:

• By the due date assigned, prepare a 6- to 7-page paper. Your response should rely upon at least five sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

As a selection strategy, interviews are intended to gauge future performance on the basis of oral responses, demeanor, body language, and so on. Interviews can be of different kinds, depending on the purpose. For example, interviews can be structured or situational. While interviews are a critical part of the selection process, and probably the most widely recognized, other assessment tests are also an important part of attempting to predict the future job performance and capabilities of candidates. Assessments can be considered a more objective measure than interviews and can be developed to precisely assess specific skills and competencies.

Directions

Write a 5- to 7-page paper that compares and contrasts interviews to noninterview employee selection assessments. In your paper, make sure you include a discussion of the following points:

Section 1: Noninterview Assessments

• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of relying on testing as the sole method of selection.
• Identify two assessment tests and briefly summarize their structure and design and provide an example of a typical item for this type of test. Make sure to explain how the test is designed to assess a candidate’s prospects for a particular position and an example of content.
• Evaluate the two tests and discuss factors that contribute to the appropriate use of a particular test for a particular situation. Why might a test not be the most effective choice?

Section 2: Selection Interviews

• Select a pair of interview types from the list of three pairs provided below. Research and describe those two types and explain when their use would be most appropriate.
• Behavioral versus situational
• Panel versus individual
• Structured versus unstructured
• Compare and contrast the two types, exploring their advantages and disadvantages, as well as their use. Provide 5 questions for each type of interview you choose.

Section 3: Interviews vs. Noninterview Assessments

• Based on your research, compare and contrast interviews versus noninterviews in terms of efficacy in meeting organizational objectives.
• Identify any areas of susceptibility to adverse impact in the assessment tests or interviews.
• Analyze how the selection process can be enhanced by combining assessment tests with interviews.

Submission Details:

• By the due date assigned, save your report into a Microsoft Word document in APA format and utilizing at least six scholarly sources.
• Save the report as M3_A2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc and submit it to the Submissions Area. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Find 5 peer-reviewed research articles from peer-reviewed journals on a species of 

interest for your project (zoo observation or research project).

List these articles in alphabetical order in APA format (see separate APA Style Sheet 

available on Canvas or in the library, 

APA Style Guide

).

For each article, read it and summarize in one paragraph, in full grammatical 

sentences, that includes the following:

1). Summarize the information about the species;

2). Summarize the methods used in this study;

3). Mention who are the subjects being used in the study;

4). Summarize the findings of the study;

5). State whether the study is of use for your project and why.
