101182 Behaviour and Environment
Task:
1. Define the problem, giving a broad description of the setting/context and outline your proposed solution.
2. In providing an overview of the problem area, your goal is to summarise your chosen issue and its context, identifying the psychological factors involved.
3. In outlining your solution, please summarise the following key details:
(a) Which element/s of the problem you are aiming to solve.
(b) How your solution will be implemented.
4. Importantly, your overview should very specifically identify the psychological factors targeted in the intervention. If you are not proposing a primarily psychological intervention, please reconsider your approach/topic. It is not appropriate to propose any intervention which primarily focuses on physical or structural changes
Identify all key stakeholders:
Aim: Identify who is most at stake in the situation – that is, who uses the setting in which the problem occurs, who is most impacted by the problem you have identified, and who is most responsible for managing the setting.
Explain how the Intervention Strategy should be implemented
Key questions to get started:
Do you think that it would be effective to change the behaviour of groups or individuals in the setting?
Are you intending to change aspects of the setting design?
How would you propose actually making that change happen?
What kind of information, knowledge or skills does this require?
Who will do the things you propose?\
Who will pay for it?
Are there existing community groups that could be utilised to address the situation?
What kind of support is necessary?
Ultimately, you need to explain what your intervention strategy is intended to achieve, and how you propose to make it happen.
