    This document outlines the steps to design and conduct a behavioural experiment to test the strength of one's beliefs: 1. Establish the current belief and rate its strength on a scale from 0-100%. Then, establish an alternative belief and rate its strength. 2. Design a behavioural experiment to test the beliefs, such as facing an avoided situation or behaving in a new way. 3. Predict the expected outcome of the experiment. Then, conduct the experiment and assess the actual outcome and what was observed. 4. Re-evaluate which belief is better supported by the experiment's results and re-rate the strength of each belief.
