Got Floss? Psychology 671 Katie Beckstrom Dr. Malott 8/11/11
Problem I was not a regular flosser to say the least. I always dreaded hearing the dentist ask So, how often do you floss? Although I feared the lack of gum health and hated admitting my degeneracy I still didnt floss regularly.
Competing Contingencies I had plenty of good reasons not to floss! Homework Spending time with friends and of course SLEEP!!!
Natural Competing Contingency Will get slightly less sleep Will get given amount of sleep I floss my teeth BEFORE AFTER BEHAVIOR
The natural contingency did not control my behavior. Surprise, surprise! PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT! So the natural solution is to use B (Behaviorman)
The SM Intervention Target behavior: Floss once daily Intervention: Pay $1 for each day I dont floss Contingency: Analog to avoidance of loss Deadline (S D ): Before bed every day PM manager: Kim- roommate Start Date: June 20, 2011 End Date: indefinite (hopefully!)
Ineffective Natural Contingency Infinitesi- mally greater level of gum health Given level of gum health I floss my teeth BEFORE AFTER BEHAVIOR
Performance-Management Contingency Will not have to pay Kim $1 tomorrow Will have to pay Kim $1 tomorrow I floss my teeth BEFORE AFTER BEHAVIOR
Inferred Theoretical Contingency Dont fear having to pay Kim $1 tomorrow Fear having to pay Kim $1 tomorrow I floss my teeth BEFORE AFTER BEHAVIOR
This kids got the right idea. Usually with self management, you show proof youve completed the task But Kim didnt think that was necessary.
So how did it go? I only flossed once during baseline. But since I started the intervention, I havent missed a single day!
Target Behavior Graph Baseline Self-Management Goal
Benefit Measure I didnt record a benefit measure, but my theory is that with less gunk in my teeth, Ill probably have better breath! As long as I stick to minty floss.
Problems During Intervention No serious problems There were a few times when I almost didnt floss because I was too tired. But I just didnt want to see that little dip in my graph.
Recycle Since I met my goal every week, I did not need to recycle. If I had started to slip, I would have increased my penalty to $2 or $3. That would add up quicker! And Im sure Kim would have appreciated that.
My Results It was a SUCCESS! Flossing has become a part of my nightly routine. And thanks to my Jewish mother, I dont really need the $1 penalty anymore I just dont want to break my perfect streak! >
My Comments Id like to continue flossing every day! I (relatively) enjoy getting gunk out of my teeth that might otherwise be stuck in there for a while. (ewww) But I have a feeling that sleeping may again become much more effective at controlling my behavior, despite the $1 penalty. Im going to need to continue reporting weekly in order to keep it up.
THANK YOU!! Any Questions or Comments?
