Reflection on Jenny Cross's Three Myths of Behavior Change


Looking at three myths and Jenny Cross mentioned. Common sense can be contributed to them all:



The first myth “caters can change behaviors,” contributes to common sense by knowing that not all individuals learn and gain knowledge the same. We must know our audience, and how they learn to be able to make a movement of behavior. We will have those individuals who have a fixed mindset that even the educators will not be able to change. We must get to know our individual, how they learn, and their background knowledge to even start a change that may be successful in a day, in a year, or never. 



The second myth “you need to change attitudes to change behavior” contributes to common sense because we know that attitudes follow behavior. I must capture the heartstrings of my audience. Once I have done this, their behavior of my change project will increase, and their attitudes will change. If I go into Mention my project in a negative behavior, I will have a negative attitude on how my audience will take my change project. I need to have a positive behavior for a growth mindset. 



Then the last myth, “people know what motivates them to take action” contributes to common sense by looking at the social norms in your society. Social norms/cultural bursters get in our way, and we must take these into consideration when making a change project.
