Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A behavioral contract is a written agreement between the individual and the behavior modification program outlining the specific behaviors, goals, and consequences that will be enforced. This contract serves as a tool for enhancing motivation, commitment, and accountability, and for promoting the achievement of desired outcomes through reinforcement and feedback. Reinforcement contract is a similar term that emphasizes the role of incentives and rewards in reinforcing desired behaviors, but it is not as commonly used as behavioral contract in the field of behavior modification. Operant agreement and behavior modification agreement are not standard terms in this context.
