That sounds a lot like behavior analysis. I'm a little obsessed with behavior analysis :D I suspect you will be thrilled with the results you will see!
kind of! I'm in the masters program for clinical mental health counseling, and the theory behind the project is that counselors so often expect their clients to just change a behavior, like its easy. This exercise is to teach us that behavior modification is HARD!!! it's easier for me to do this when I think of it as a science experiment... the hard part will be after the project is over.
