ABC's of Behavior


ABC's of Behavior

I am taking a class and this thought of ABC's of behavior is just sticking with me, so I thought I would share it out. (I adapted an illustration to share with you. I used PowerPoint 2007 and Photoshop CS3 to do this.)

I think everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions. If you do one thing (the antecedent), a behavior will happen, then you need to accept the consequence.

I think there are many problems in this world and if folks just think about this and take ownership of what they do and say, then the world will be a much better place to live in.

I guess you can relate this to technology and acquiring and adapting to new technologies.

An example can be blogging.
The antecedent will be writing something, the behavior can be blogging and thinking and sharing something way cool, and the consequence, may be someone thinking that this is cool and trying it or adapting some new technology into their field.

Some good uses of this model...
- Adaptation of new technology
- Training (like your children or dogs)
- Reshaping poor behavior
- Reshaping children's behavior in I.E.P's
