ABC Modeling

ABC Modeling is a behavioral analysis tool used to understand actions by examining three components: Antecedents (what happens before the behavior), Behavior (the action itself), and Consequences (what happens after the behavior). By identifying these elements, individuals or professionals can determine what triggers a specific behavior, how it's carried out, and what reinforces it. This understanding helps develop strategies to modify or manage behaviors effectively, whether to encourage positive actions or reduce unwanted ones. ABC Modeling is widely used in psychology, education, and behavior management to promote healthier, more adaptive responses.
