A Behavioral Approach to Building Cognitive Foundations for Effective Thought and Action
Pappas, Eric; Pappas, Jesse
Innovative Higher Education, v36 n5 p359-372 Nov 2011
This research documents the process and results of an approach to teaching university undergraduates intentional self-development skills designed to promote self-generated goals, routines, and lifestyle choices. These skills may provide effective behavioral foundations for developing metacognitive awareness, intentionality, and individual well-being. The results of six original behavioral interventions, implemented in two James Madison University courses, provide initial support for the effectiveness of these instructional methodologies.
