Bushy's (1992) six behavior responses to change identify specific behaviors that may be seen when working with individuals and groups during a change event. These six behavioral responses to change are: 1) innovators—also called change embracers, 2) early adopters—those who are open and receptive to change, 3) early majority—enjoy and prefer the status quo but do not wish to be left behind so they adopt the change early on, 4) late majority—also called "followers," 5) laggards—the last group to adopt a change, and 6) rejectors–those who openly oppose and reject the change.
