TABLE II – GROWTH MANAGEMENT ASPECTS
| LEVEL |
DISSONANCE-MODEL
NATURE |
NEGATIVE
CLUES |
| Egocentric
(C-P) |
First,
immediate reward comes from
willingness to accept regulation, structure, order. Later, order has its own reward
- security. |
Increased
aggressive behavior,
abuse of reward
(usually increased authority -responsibility), victimizing weak
others. |
| Saintly
(D-Q
) |
First,
ones duty can be best met
through willingness to be flexible
- transgress order.
Later, reward comes from accomplishment not submission. |
Withdrawal
from manger and
situation. Increased use of order-of-things
in personal defensive
manner - increased rigidity. |
| Materialistic
(E-R) |
Structure
nearly every situation such that interaction with others (as individual human beings) is required to accomplish objectives. Select others who others, cannot be bullied, bought off or manipulated but
who will, when humanely dealt with, respond positively. Require openness in dealings. |
Withdrawal
from or avoidance of situations
requiring open interaction. Escalation of coercion of
greater efforts to manipulate. |
| Personalistic
(F-S) |
From
with-group-position continually introduce the
realities (information) of external
world. Reinforcement of
group conceptualization of
all external. |
Unwilling
to “look” outwards -
closing of group ranks. Denial of reality – increased inward facing. |
| Cognitive
(A’-N’) |
Provide
all the information on all situations - completely open book. Encourage all things be considered – the broad view. |
Biased
selection of information
- erecting perception
filters. Closing mind in light of new
data. |
NOTE:
For the Experientialistic level and above growth management
becomes an
individual
concern in that each person at these levels individually manages
their own growth.
In addition, our knowledge of behavior at these levels is too
scant to describe
the
nature of the appropriate dissonance-model.
