Baseline Data Written Summary

During the 7-day self-observation period, several patterns emerged regarding my soft drink consumption behavior. The antecedents to my soda consumption included feelings of tiredness, stress, boredom, cravings for sweetness, and exposure to others drinking soda. These triggers were consistently linked to the moments when I reached for and consumed soda. For instance, seeing others drinking energy drinks at the gym on Saturday resulted in me buying a soda from the gym's vending machine within 5 minutes of observing others. These antecedents often led to the target behavior of reaching for and consuming soda. The consequences of drinking soda varied, including temporary relief from stress or boredom, increased energy or alertness, and enjoyment of the taste. Overall, it became evident that my soda consumption was closely linked to my emotional state, environmental cues, and social influences.

Intervention Data Described and Summarized

During my 7-day self-intervention period, several patterns emerged regarding my soft drink consumption behavior. The antecedent of my behavior was influenced by various factors such as my environment, my physical state (like feeling stressed or dehydrated), and the availability of different drink options. The triggers for changing my behavior seem to be specific situations where I feel a need for a drink, either due to thirst, a need for energy, or a desire for something sweet. These situations occur at different times and places, such as at the library, home, gym, restaurant, and work. The patterns of change from the baseline data observation to the treatment observations show that I am making healthier choices in your drink selection. Instead of opting for soda or energy drinks, I am choosing water, coffee, flavored water, iced tea, and vitamin water. These choices seem to be positively reinforced by the immediate affects I experience, such as feeling relieved, calm, energized, or hydrated. My thoughts and behaviors following these choices also indicate a positive change, as I express satisfaction with your healthier choices and a desire to continue making such choices in the future.
