Soft skills can be understood as “a cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication skills, language skills, personal habits, friendliness and optimism that mark people and make them distinct and distinguished.” Soft Skills are very often termed as “people skills” or “interpersonal skills”, as they relate to people interaction and human behavior. However, soft skills encompass much more than inter- personal skills. Behavior modification is the field of psychology concerned with analyzing and modifying human behavior. Analyzing means identifying the functional relationship between environmental events and a particular behavior to understand the reasons for behavior or to determine why a person behaved as he or she did. Modifying means developing and implementing procedures to help people change their behavior. It involves altering environmental events so as to influence behavior. Behavior modification procedures are developed by professionals and used to change socially significant behaviors, with the goal of improving some aspect of a person’s life.
