PSYC 320 Behavior Modification Sample Papers, Week by Week

Liberty University · BS in Psychology · Psychology, counseling and social work · Updated

PSYC 320 reads a Liberty custom edition of Miltenberger's Behavior Modification: Principles and Procedures. These samples define a target behavior hidden in the label lazy, weigh two meta-analyses on rewards and intrinsic motivation, carry one student's project to raise daily study time from a 26-minute baseline to a 66-minute treatment average, shape a beginner's running with percentile criteria, present the project in seven slides and train a youth volunteer with behavioral skills training.

What PSYC 320 covers

Forums fall in Modules/Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8; each thread runs 300 to 500 words and each of two replies 100 to 150 words, and every post cites the Bible, the textbook and at least one peer-reviewed article with a references section.

The Behavior Modification Project runs from a five-page research paper with abstract in Module/Week 3, through a baseline report in Module/Week 4 and a treatment report in Module/Week 6, to a seven-slide PowerPoint with two classmate responses in Module/Week 7. Because every later part reuses the same target behavior, the choice made in the first week shapes all four grades, so a behavior that can be counted daily, such as minutes of study or cigarettes smoked, saves trouble at the graphing stage.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes PSYC 320 Behavior Modification this way:
This course introduces students to the application, implementation, measurement, and evaluation of behavior management techniques in various settings including hospitals, institutions, and schools.

Where PSYC 320 papers lose points

PSYC 320 work loses points when target behaviors stay vague labels, when forum replies run over 150 words or drop one of the three required sources, when treatment starts before a real baseline, when graphs connect points across the phase-change line, and when results are claimed without naming threats such as reactivity.

Using a PSYC 320 sample well

The samples cite Miltenberger, Baer and colleagues, Deci and colleagues, Cameron and colleagues, Steel, van Eerde and Klingsieck, Harkin and colleagues, Gollwitzer and Sheeran, Galbicka and Kirkpatrick and colleagues.
