G-20 Strategies for managing or promoting autonomy or personal autonomy

• Self-management = Management or promotion of autonomy or personal autonomy: Refers to the management or promotion of personal autonomy, where a person applies behavior change tactics to achieve desired changes in their behavior.

• Antecedent-based tactics: Include manipulation of motivational operations, provision of response stimuli, instruction of a sequence of behaviors, environmental planning, and situational induction.

• Self-monitoring = Self-recording: Self-recording involves a person observing and recording their behavior to monitor whether or not the desired behavior occurred.

• Self-evaluation: It consists of a person comparing their own performance with a predetermined standard or objective.

• Self-instruction: It is based on a person using their own verbal responses (whether self-generated, covert or overt) to provide themselves with a response stimulus towards a desired behavior. That is, a person communicates with himself what he should do.

• Habit reversal: It is a treatment that involves becoming aware of the habit, interrupting it, employing alternative behavior and rewarding oneself, as well as accessing social support systems.

• Systematic desensitization: It consists of the self-directed replacement of one unwanted behavior with another.

• Massive practice: Refers to the deliberate repetition of an unwanted behavior to eventually reduce it. (Cooper, Heron and Heward, 2007).
