target behavior to be changed in a self-management program

The use of self-management strategies in which the antecedents and consequences of a target behavior and/or alternative behaviors are modified.

telling yourself what to do or how to do it in situations that call for a specific target behavior

The personal application of behavior change tactics that produces a desired change in behavior.

Short-circuiting the contingency

Occurs when person arranges reinforcer for target behavior in a self-management project but takes reinforcer without first engaging in target behavior. May occur when person arranges punisher for TB but doesn’t implement punisher after engaging in the TB.

occurs when significant others in a person's life provide a natural context or cues for the occurrence of the target behavior or when they naturally provide reinforcing consequences for the occurrence of the target behavior
