*Please see attached format for this paper*
For this project, students will 1) choose a problem they have suffered from and would like to improve (e.g., burnout, low self-esteem, shoulder pain, trouble sleeping; Do not choose a significant problem that needs professional help); 2) choose a behavioral intervention (not pharmacological intervention) that is supported by research. The intervention is something you will carry out yourself during this semester, so choose an intervention that is feasible and easy to implement (e.g., drinking water, stretching, journaling, walking); 3) Before beginning the intervention, gather baseline data. Once the intervention starts, continue collecting data throughout the Intervention Phase. The baseline data will be compared with the intervention phase data to assess any progress made; 5) write a paper including a chart and a graph. You need to have at least TWO weeks for data collection and intervention:  FOUR days for a baseline: Prior to intervention, you will collect baseline data daily over 4 days to detect the level of the problem before intervention.  TEN days for an intervention: On day 5, you begin your intervention and continue until day 14. During the intervention phase (10 days), you also collect data daily to check progress in the problem.

Baseline Intervention Phase
• 5 ½ ~ 6 pages (including progress chart and graph) PLUS cover page and reference pages.
• Typed, Follow APA, Double Space, Font Style: Times New Roman • If you use AI to find and understand an article, cite both in text and include both references in the reference page. This citation rule applies only to this class. For example: In text: McCarty and Faulkner’s (2020) article that assessed the effects of journaling on anxiety found that journaling did have a significant beneficial effect on reducing anxiety symptoms (OpenAI, 2024).
In reference: McCarty, L. A., & Faulkner, M. S. (2020). Integrating writing and mathematics: Journaling to increase learning and enjoyment while reducing anxiety. Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 39(3), 145–159. https://doi.org/10.1093/teamat/hrz010

For this Assignment:
Problem – Lack of Self Efficacy
The Intervention – Making/Having a Daily Planner
* I have not done the baseline/intervention scale but would be okay with you doing this, if you can please. The scale should be like this – “No success – 0 tasks completed”; “Slight Success – 1 task completed”; “Little Success = 2 tasks completed”; “Moderate Success = 3 tasks completed”; “Increased Successs = 4 tasks completed”; “Great Success = 5 tasks completed”.
