Behavioral self-analysis in the medical curriculum.
Medical students in a first-year behavioral science course were required to conduct a behavior change project in accordance with a model based upon behavioristic principles. Most students conducted projects designed to alter their own behaviors, such as studying, eating, sleeping, and exercising. Student feedback, as well as formal evaluation of the projects that were conducted, provided a basis for the view that such procedures can make a significant contribution to the teaching of behavioral change technology in the medical curriculum.
