Theory presentation
Kurt Lewin was a German psychologist known for developing field theory and pioneering research on group dynamics. His field theory states that behavior results from both personal characteristics and the current social/environmental situation. Lewin proposed a 3-stage model of change: unfreezing (overcoming resistance to change), changing (moving to a new way of thinking/behaving), and refreezing (making the new behavior permanent). This model emphasizes the need to first reduce restraining forces and increase driving forces to motivate change before implementing something new and then solidifying the new approach. Lewin's work influenced theories of organizational change, group dynamics, and social psychology.
