Theories of Change
1976
- Empirical-Rational
Rational self interest to advantage.
More abstractedly, Logic, Adult, "Technical"
- Normative-Reeducative
Norms, Conformity, Social needs, (NP-AC), "Informal"
- Power-Coercive
Compliance by less powerful.
Compliance CREATES the power in question in any dual transaction.
- Compliance - abdication of responsibility for choice.
- cost vs gain decision
- abdication of choice for approval
- Esteem need (I'm not ok, You're ok.)
- Exercise Acceptance of responsibility for other ("prove" self
responsible)
- Egoism: My goal, purpose over your goal, purpose.
- Exploitation: (I'm ok, you're not ok.)
The power-coercive transaction involves two individuals operating at the esteem
need level or below or permitting one differential evaluation of the worth
of a (any or one of the two in question) human being (space
binding).
Cultural institutionalization (via time
binding) leads to "formal", (CP-FC)
