In Lewin's Force Field Analysis Model, which two forces affect change?
1. Power and coercion
2. Driving forces and restraining forces
3. Reward and punishment
4. Discontentment and challenge
Correct Answer: 2
Lewin's theory contained explanations from both psychology and the physical sciences. The Force Field Analysis Model examined two forces affecting the change process; driving forces that attempt to move action and static, or restraining forces that attempt to maintain the status quo. Power and coercion is an approach to manage planned change. Rewards are elements that a change agent may use to reach desired behaviors, these elements are not in Lewin's theory of change. People may challenge change or become discontented with having to make changes, a change agent needs the necessary skills to handle both behaviors, these behaviors are not forces, as noted by Lewin's Force Field Analysis Model.
