About me
My name is Joshua Rice, I'm currently in my third year of my undergraduate psychology degree at the University of Canberra.

Throughout my course and career, I have developed passion in areas including crisis counselling, personality psychology and applied behaviour analysis.

I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to have volunteered as a 'Lifeline Telephone Crisis Supporter' and currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician in Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention.

In the future, I hope to find a way to combine my passion for applied behaviour analysis, and assisting those in crisis. This has sparked my current interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the applications it has to not just bettering the life of clients, but increasing the meaning and resilience in my own life.

I am excited to undertake the Motivation and Emotion unit, as building and sustaining motivation for behaviour change is at the very core of my previous and current work. I hope that this science can shape my work for the better, while allowing me to better control my own life, and shape enduring motivation towards my own endeavours.

Motivation and emotion 2019 book chapter
The topic I have selected for the unit is Motivation Intensity Theory: What is MIT and how can it be applied?
