Which change theory is based on beliefs that people are rational and that they will change if it is in their self-interest?
1. Power-coercive
2. Persuasive
3. Empirical-rational
4. Facilitative
Correct Answer: 3
The empirical-rational approach is based on two beliefs; that people are rational, and that they will change if it is in their self-interest. With the power-coercive approach, power lies with one or more persons of influence. With the persuasive strategy, the use of reasoning, arguing, and inducement are employed to bring about a change. The facilitative strategy provides resources critical to change. It assumes that people are willing to change but need the resources to bring it about.
