Behavior Management

I. Consider the behavior of speeding (driving a car in excess of the speed limit) in our culture. A. Briefly outline the current reinforcement and punishment contingencies with respect to speeding. B. Compare the current punishment contingencies for speeding with the guidelines for the effective application of punishment procedures. Identify those guidelines that were ignored by the lawmakers and law enforcers. II. Choose behavior of yours that you would like to decrease. With the help of a friend, described in detail a punishment program that would likely decrease that behavior. (Make the program as realistic as possible, but do not apply it.). Your punishment program should be consistent with all the guidelines for the effective application of punishment.
