Its easy to change a good behavior but its hard to change a bad behavior. Bad behavior could change a lot of things, so its really important to change the bad behaviors. There are three ways to change a bad behavior. One, is social intensive which is giving data to compare with others. Second, is to have immediate reward, or to have some reward. And third is to have progress monitoring. Each of the three reasons could help a person change their bad behavior.
The first way of changing a bad behavior is social intensive which is giving data to compare with others. This could help people see the difference between the other people and them selfs. While seeing a social intensive data, people would often think that ‘I want to chase up to the best person on the chart’ or something like that. As all the people think that way the thing they do or the bad habit would quickly change.
The second way of changing a bad behavior is have immediate reward. When people are doing something that they don’t want to do, they either got a reward or they are threatened (does not work on changing bad behaviors). So we can see that having a reward could help people do what they don’t want to do. Having a immediate reward could tell people what you could get if you change the bad behavior.
Last but not least way to change a bad behavior is to have progress monitoring. Some people like to see how their progress is going so they could see what they need to do next. When having a chart or something to show the progress on a bad behavior, people could see how they changed. And when they don’t make many progress, they could know and start catching up.
The three ways is really good at changing the bad behaviors that are hard to change. One of the ways is having social intensive, second is having immediate reward, and third is to have progress monitoring. Changing bad behaviors is especially important.
