Provide an example of a one party contract and a two party contract

What will be an ideal response?


An example of a one party contract is as follows: Bob wants to increase the number of days per week he goes jogging. Joanie, his wife, is the contract manager. Whenever Bob completes his goal of jogging 4 days per week, he is rewarded with his favorite home cooked meal prepared by Joanie. An example of a two party contract is as follows: Rich and Tony are classmates who are working on a research project together. Although they have already decided who will perform which tasks on the project, both are progressing slowly and not much is being accomplished. As a result, Rich and Tony enter into a two party contract which states that if either individual does not devote at least 10 hours per week to the research project, he will not be able to go out on Friday night (a potent reinforcer for both).
