Descrube your habit and the sequence of behaviors involved in it.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper analyzing the formation of habits using behavioral and social/cognitive approaches. Your paper should cover the following areas:

• Analyze one of your habits. This could be either a “good habit” or a “bad habit”.
• Descrube your habit and the sequence of behaviors involved in it.
  • How did you develop this habit?
  • Were there role models for this habit? Which people influenced the adoption of this habit?
  • Why do you continue it? Has there been a time when you have attempted to break this habit?
• How would behavior theory (classical and/or operant conditioning) explain how this habit developed and is maintained?
• Analyze whether elements of social/cognitive theory may also explain how the habit formed and is maintained.
• If you wanted to change this habit, outline a plan that applies operant conditioning principles to change it. You could consider either increasing, or decreasing its frequency.
• On balance, does the behavioral theory or the social/cognitive theory best explain your personality characteristics and behaviors? Explain.
