Ep. 32- ABA in One Take- Self Management and New Year’s Resolutions?

Jan 03, 2022

Self- Monitoring for the New Year!

With all the New Year's resolutions flying around, I thought I would start a little tradition for our podcast. Every new year’s episode, we will be covering some type of ABA research related to healthy eating or increasing activity. This year, we are going to cover one of my favorite topics, self-monitoring or management. The actual components of a self-monitoring program differ, but generally speaking, there is some aspect of feedback, goal setting, and self-data tracking. By combining these elements, you can bring together a self-sustaining system to promote behavior change. This article is a meta-analysis of the different procedures being used in this space and reviews the effectiveness. Different holes in the literature are identified and we (selfishly) discuss how we can use what these researchers have learned to help us stick to our own resolutions.
