In this episode of ABA Chapter Chat we take a deep dive into Chapter 29 of Applied Behavior Analysis by Cooper et. al. 3rd edition. This chapter explains the concept of self-management as it relates to behavior change. The chapter argues that self-management involves modifying one's behavior by manipulating antecedents and consequences, dispelling the idea that self-control is an internal force. It outlines various self-management strategies, including self-monitoring, self-evaluation, self-administered consequences, and habit reversal. The chapter further emphasizes the importance of designing and implementing effective self-management programs by outlining key steps and considerations, including goal setting, self-monitoring, contingency creation, and program evaluation. Ultimately, the chapter asserts that self-management is a learned skill that can be used to achieve personal goals and enhance overall well-being.
