Appendix B: Six-Source Diagnostic Questions--The Six-Source Model

The six-source model helps us expand our view of why people do what they do. By looking at all six sources, we can expand our traditional thoughts about why people do the things they do ( they enjoy causing problems! ) to include each person s ability along with the social and environmental factors behind all behavior.

• Is the required task boring, noxious, repetitive, physically or mentally exhausting, or painful?

• Are they doing the wrong thing because they enjoy it more?
