Abstract Motivational Strategies and stages of changes are applied to physical exercise by creating a potential successful psychological route into a client’s mind, show them how to get there and then how to keep making goals. One key theory that best describes these changes is the Behavior Modification Theory. It is based on the assumption that behavior is learned and can be changed by modifying the antecedents and consequences (Howley, Edward. 04/2012). This applies for exercise by understanding the underlying reason that someone does not practice good exercise habits, or just do not believe in it. The transtheoretical model is based off of five stages of change, Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance. …show more content…
He is currently taking home economics, his favorite class, and is learning a great deal about how to cook healthier meals. Justin is also highly motivated about getting in better shape so that he may play more on the football team this next year. H does not want to end up like his family, who are all over-weight and sedentary. He knows it will take hard work to become a starter and he is ready, although he does not know exactly how to get there. Justin feels that his current barriers are his focus, parent driven, on his academics. He has brought his grades up significantly, but feels that he does not have enough time after tutoring to exercise. Another barrier are his family. The fact that they are all over weight, eat fast food more often than not and just sit around and watch their favorite shows are affecting his ability to progress due to his age. I feel another barrier is video gaming. As long as it is controlled, it is not a problem, but he should take more action in trying to get his friends together for playing real sports than …show more content…
If she understands what her specific goals are for each day, or even goals for certain times of the day due to her schedule, she may be more prone to act on the exercise part. Doctors have already handled the marketing the benefits of exercise to her during each visit to the clinic, however they don’t always know the best way to get through to people in her position like a fitness professional. The benefits from exercise can be described to her by peers, or anyone in her age group. There are many stories and blogs that describe how others got started and suck with it. This could be a way to get through to her (http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity). Another strategy is to find a potential social network and support group around her home area. This will give her a continuing strength when she is not at work. The other piece of this is figure out why she feels intimidated with her co-workers when they are at the gym. This could open up a large avenue for her to use if she will is able to figure out why she feels that
In order to comprehend and forecast behavior change, particularly in the area of physical exercise, the Trans theoretical Model (TTM) has been extensively employed. According to TTM, behavior change
If all members of the school community are using the same principles and techniques when managing behaviour, it is much more likely that the children will respond in a positive way. The children will know the range of rewards and dispensations, and the order in which they will be used, no matter who is speaking to them about their behaviour. Workforce re-modelling has had an impact on a number of different professionals who are now working in schools. Support staff and midday supervisors, as well as those running extended school provision, should know the importance and impact of consistent methods. It is also important that support staff are given status within the school so that they are respected in the same way as fully qualified teaching
The model tries to predict the level of attention the audience will give to a specific message and the thought processes behind it. The central message of the campaign is to encourage exercise and when women are highly motivated and have the ability to process the information presented in the campaign, they are more likely to engage in the central route of persuasion (Cacioppo & Petty, 1984). This means they will carefully consider the campaign message and its arguments, evaluating its relevance and effectiveness. To appeal to this route, the campaign provides strong arguments and evidence by using statistics on the benefits of fitness and testimonials from women who have benefited from exercise such as "2.4m more men than women strongly agree that they enjoy sport and physical activity.
In pedagogy, the purpose as a fitness professional is to teach and share your knowlege on the study of human movement in hopes that your client will utilize what they learn and apply it to their fitness. Part that also includes being able to encourage your client, provide variety of method, and determine what is the most effective way for person to learn. In order to motivate my client to be consistent with the program I would have to start off by looking at their background information. Be able to examine the client 's strenghs, weakness, their goals, and how they learn best in a social setting. After I am able to get idea of how the person works, I would provided a plan with the client to help them stick with the program and improve on their
But when their age group entered a higher level of competition, he approached me to tell me that he was quitting because he felt that he could not perform at the level that were going into. He told me that he was having a hard time catching up with the physical demands of this new level of play and that he was quitting because its too hard. As a coach, I asked him: when your studies get harder, do you stop going to school? Quitting is not the solution when faced with a problem; especially one that you have direct influence
This particular research study had several limitations related to it. The first issue was the location of the study. This writer sampled a population that resides in a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility on the Multi-Needs unit, and did not sample populations from the remaining units at the facility. Consequently, the sample cannot be generalized to other children. Participants in other settings, and/or programs, may produce different results.
The theoretical framework that I chose to integrate my interventions with Ms. L is the strength-based perspective using the cognitive theory and the dialectical behavior therapy model. The strengths-based theory focuses on peoples’ self-determination and strengths. This perspective is client led while building of their strengths and characteristics that are already present. future outcomes and strengths. This theory was developed from a team of professors at the University of Kansas.
The Socio-behaviorist theory (behaviorism) Socio-behaviorists often study how children 's experiences model their behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Behaviorism believes that what matters is not the development itself, but the external factors that shape children 's behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). This theory demonstrates that teachers and mentors dominate and instruct child-related activities, and they decide what children should learn and how to learn (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Reinforcement, which is an essential factor that helps children to learn particular behaviors, generally refers to rewards and punishments (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Children are more likely to repeat actions that result in receiving praise; in contrast, they may ignore or abandon behaviors that make them get punishment.
4. ACT is sometimes said to be at the forefront of “the third wave” of behavior therapy. Explain what is meant by “third wave,” including an explanation of how the “third wave” is thought to differ from the “first” and “second” waves. Behavior Therapy (BT) has a rather extensive history that is often referred to as the three waves of behaviorism. The first wave occurred during the 1950s and 60s.
Motivation is a big deal these days. I have friends that need an extra push. There’re plenty of communities that are motivating guys to work out,” he replied. I was no stranger to these communities. When I was younger, I used to frequent an online forum where people motivated each other by posting status reports of their workouts.
My persuasion will be about one simple question. WHY….. Why people avoid doing work out. Why? And why we should work out?

Behavior modification should be used in society to shape the behavior of others because it’s easy to use and the results are immediate. For example, an employer implements a new policy for every employee who does not call in sick all year gets a bonus check December 1st. I can guarantee that more the 75% of the employees will not call in sick all year; this works as an incentive for each of the parties involved. The use of “token economy” (Wood, Wood, & Boyd, 2014, p. 163) sets standards of behavior that are clear and consistent for everyone involved; students, prisoners, patients, etc. know what is expected of them, they’re aware of the rewards, and understand the repercussions for not following protocol.
