Societal norms that promote unhealthy habits permeate our daily lives. However, they don’t have to be practiced and accepted by everyone. List three unhealthy societal norms that are prevalent in your community or around your campus. Then, list countering strategies, behaviors, choices, or policies that could help change these norms to be more positive. You may want to refer to Table 1-2 for ideas.
EXAMPLE
| 1. | Unhealthy norm: Residence-hall student lounges have vending machines that offer only candy, cookies, and chips. |
| 2. | Strategies: (1) Meet with hall council and advocate for healthier items: apples, granola bars, pretzels, popcorn, etc. (2) Keep healthy snacks in the room so that you don’t have to use the vending machine. (3) Consider increasing the prices for the unhealthy choices. (4) Post on the vending machine the fat grams and calories of each item, as well as the number of minutes of exercise it would take to burn off each gram and calorie. |

1. Consider extinction and differential reinforcement. The question is this: If you had a child client that was engaging in fist pounding behavior as an attention getting response (adults would reliably attend to the child when this behavior occurred), what procedure would you use? Describe each component (i.e. extinction as well as the reinforcement procedure). Briefly describe why you would choose this procedure.)
2. Consider behavioral skills training procedures. The question is this: You are working with an adult client that is developing anxiety because they cannot assert themselves with others at work. Whenever they are asked to do something they feel compelled to do it because they simply cannot say no. Describe the procedure you would use to teach this person assertiveness skills (i.e. saying “I am sorry but I am very busy this weekend and cannot come into work.”) Describe each step of the procedure remembering to include ALL the components of Behavioral training skills.
